Foster

Combine the butter,
sugar, and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet. Place the pan over
low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and
cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the banana liqueur,
then place the bananas in the pan. When the banana sections soften
and begin to brown, carefully add the rum. Continue to cook the
sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite
the rum. When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan
and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream. Generously
spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
