Banana + Caramel + Rum

Ingredients:
1-2 bananas
100g white/brown sugar.
Butter
Old spice( RUM)

This is a really simple yet delicious reciepe out of 3 ingredients. Banana,caramel and rum goes brilliantly well together. And you can serve them with pancakes, waffles, ice-cream or cakes.

Instructions:

Firstly, heat your pan. Add 100g of sugar into the pan and just wait for it to melt and turn into golden brown. Make sure your heat isn't too high otherwise the sugar will burn and if its too low, it will harden. So you gotta stay real close with this. You may start of with a high heat for melting the sugar, just becareful not to burn it. while that's happening, slice your bananas LENGTH WAYS. This is important because bananas tend to get mushed easily under high heat so if you slice them too small or thin, they'll turn to mush before they get plated.

Once the sugar has melted completely and you've obtained a nice golden brown color, take the pan off the heat, and add a dollop of butter in there. You may add as much butter as you like but I personally prefer just a little for the flavor so that it isn't too rich.

You should hear a sizzling sound, and when that happens, throw in the sliced bananas and put it back on the heat. Get ready the rum which you can prepare by pouring it into a small glass. Throw in the rum and blaze it. Allow the alcohol to reduce and let it simmer for 3 minutes. You may taste the caramel, and if its too rich, add some water to balance it out.

The bananas are ready! place them into a small bowl and serve it on a pancake with some vanilla ice-cream.

PS: You may not necessarily use bananas in this receipe. Pineapples or apples would do just as good. (Add cinnamon sticks to improve the flavor if desired.)
