I’m kind of sad that this is the fourth and final recipe from last week’s Beer Dinner. But it’s good news for you, because the final recipe is dessert!!

Flambe Instructions
Caution: the next step is dangerous. Please do not attempt if you have not flambéd food before – see Non-Flambe Instructions below
With stove off, add bourbon to pan and ignite with stick lighter. Once flame goes out, pour sauce over bananas.

Non-Flambe Instructions (personally untested, but have heard this is a reasonable alternative)
Add 1/4 cup bourbon to a hot pan (carefully – it will ignite if it touches flame) and allow to burn off the alcohol. Pour sauce over bananas
Fold edges of crepe to the center and dust with powdered sugar.
THAT IS ALL!!! Good night, don’t forget to tip your waiter.

The only thing I have ever flambe-d is bananans foster. People don’t set their food on fire enough these days! I love adding a little coconut milk to the bananas for a creamy sauce.

We need to start a food+fire movement, it’s so fun (once you know what you’re doing)! :)
You tempt me so! I would be that person who burns the house down though, so I’m glad you gave a fire-alternative! :D
