Also known as bananas Foster.
Instead of an actual orange, I use a splash of orange juice to baste in. Ingredients and method below are from the Food Network recipe, with that substitution applied.

Ingredients
- A splash of orange juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1/4 cup orange liqueur or brandy
- Kosher salt
- 3 ripe bananas, peeled, halved lengthwise and crosswise
- 1/2 cup dark rum
- Whipped cream, for serving
Steps
- Melt the butter with the sugar and vanilla bean in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar caramelizes, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the liqueur, a splash of orange juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Return the skillet to medium heat, add the bananas, cut-side down, and cook until glazed and golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and divide among bowls.
- Add the rum to the pan and return to medium heat. Warm for a few seconds without stirring, then carefully tilt the pan so the rum ignites (if using an electric stove, hold a lit match near the sauce to ignite it). Spoon the flaming sauce over the bananas. Garnish with whipped cream.
