Banana addiction

Bananas can be addictive, im sure of it! I try and have one everyday because if I don't, I start to get banana cravings the next day. They are thought to have mood boosting properties and, in the war when people couldn't get a hold of bananas, they would use a banana flavouring and add it to mixtures of food to get their banana hit!

Golden Bananas
25g butter
4 large bananas, just ripe
50g soft brown sugar
finely grated zest of 1 lime
2 tbsp lime juice
4 tbsp dark rum (optional)
double cream to serve

Heat the butter in a large frying pan until it sizzles. Add the bananas and turn them over gently, so that they are evenly coated in butter. Sprinkle with sugar and cook for 30 seconds, or until the sugar melts.

Add the lime zest and juice, and rum. Swirl in the pan to mix them together. Divide between 4 bowls and serve with double cream.
