BANANAS FOSTER

1 stick butter 
1/2 cup brown sugar 
4 bananas peeled and halved, then cut lengthwise 
1/4 cup dark rum 

Melt butter in a large skillet. Add brown sugar and stir together. Add the bananas and cook until caramelized over medium-high heat. 
Take pan off heat, pour in the rum and return to heat, then light it with a long lighter. Stand back when ignited and flaming. Be careful, a flame will shoot up above the pan. Let the flame die down. 
Serve over vanilla ice cream or pound cake.
