Recipe: Mardi Gras Recipe

Mrs. Moriyama,
Most Bananas Foster recipes use alchohal which doesn't burn off in the cooking. I'm sure you could use instant pudding if you needed to make this in the classroom.

Bananas Foster Custard

1 1/2 cups bananas, firm-ripe, sliced
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons rum extract
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Toss banana slices with lemon juice; drain off excess. Set aside 6 banana slices for garnish; divide remaining slices evenly among six lightly buttered 6-ounce custard cups.
Set cups in shallow baking pan. Beat eggs, milk, granulated sugar and rum extract until
well blended; pour evenly into custard cups.
Place pan in preheated 350 . oven; pour VERY hot water into pan to within 1/2 inch of
top of cups. Bake about 40 to 50 minutes, until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Remove cups immediately from hot water; cool on wire rack 5 to 10 minutes.

To serve, gently loosen custards with thin spatula; invert onto serving plates and garnish
with reserved banana slices. Melt butter in small saucepan over low heat; blend in brown
sugar, water and cinnamon. Bring to a boil; boil 3 minutes. Spoon about 1 tablespoon hot
syrup over each custard and serve immediately.
Serves 4.
