WARM BANANAS KAHLUA

Steps:

• Caramelize sugars in a hot, dry sauté pan, being careful not to burn the sugar. Add sliced bananas, Kahlua, and butter. Remove pan from burner (butter and Kahlua should not cook). This is excellent served directly, or over ice cream. Editor's Extra: An ounce is 1/8 cup or 1 1/2 tablespoons. Dry sugar will liquify and turn brown-carmelize-when heated quickly in a skillet. Fun Fact: Bananas do not grow on trees! They grow on tropical plants that have no trunk. Bananas are really gigantic herbs that spring from underground stems. What looks like a trunk is a false stem formed by tightly wrapped leaf sheaths. Their stalks grow to 25 feet in height making them the largest plant on earth without a woody stem.
