Caramelized Bananas

:  Winter 2004

Your rating: None Average: 4.3 (55 votes)

The bananas have to get in and out of the pan in 1 1/2 minutes, no longer, so they stay firm in the center. If you are cooking for 4, you can easily double the recipe; it is important not to crowd the skillet, so get everything ready to go and make it in 2 batches.
