Caramelized Bananas



I found this recipe in an old children's cookbook. Turns out, caramelized bananas were a 50's classic. Served with two scoops of ice cream, or in their regular shape, these are delicious.

Ingredients:
1 medium ripe banana, sliced

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon butter
Step 1: Melt the butter in a small pan on medium heat.
Step 2: Once the butter starts to turn golden, add the sliced bananas and coat evenly with the butter.
Step 3: Flip the bananas to the other side and sprinkle the brown sugar on.
Step 4: Remove from the heat and toss altogether.

Serve with ice-cream or by themselves. It is also possible to bake them in the oven. Slice a banana in half lengthwise, rub with butter, sprinkle on brown sugar, and bake in a 350 degree oven until soft.
