Your Scout can now make Flambé Bananas
So we made these at camp. We used margarine, white sugar, and white rum at camp, but it doesn't make much difference. Make sure the bananas are well ripened. Recipe came from RecipeIdeas.com. If you search online, there are a lot of other variations, but try this basic recipe first so you can decide if all the extra messing and ingredients are worth it :-)
Ingredients2 bananas, ripe but not soft
1 butter
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 rum, dark
Directions
Take 2 ripe, but not soft bananas and cut in half, then split lengthwise. Melt a few Tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 2-3 T brown sugar and stir. Add bananas. Cook until fairly warm and starting to soften (about 1 min.). Flip bananas and allow to cook an additional 30 seconds. Add rum (light or dark; dark has more flavor) to taste, and swirl in pan a bit. Allow to thicken slightly, remove from heat and serve.
