Ingredients

Instructions

Place the butter, sugar, cinnamon stick, lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon rum in a heavy-bottomed 12-inch skillet. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is thick, about 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the bananas to the pan, spooning some sauce over each piece. Cook until the bananas are golden on the bottom, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn the bananas and continue cooking until very soft but not mushy or falling apart, about 1 1/2 minutes more.
Remove skillet from heat. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons rum and wait until the rum has warmed slightly, about 5 seconds. Wave a lit match over the pan until the rum ignites, shaking the pan to distribute the flame over entire pan. when flames subside, divide the bananas and sauce (discarding the cinnamon stick and lemon zest) among four bowls of ice cream and serve.
