Bananas Foster Shortcake Recipes

Steps:

• Simmer brown sugar, butter, rum, liqueur, cinnamon and salt in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook until thickened, about 8 minutes, whisking occasionally.
• Add bananas and simmer until warmed through, about 1 minute.
• Take off of the heat and stir in pineapple.
• To Assemble:.
• Cut shortcakes in half horizontally. Coat cut sides of each shortcake with Foster sauce. Place bottoms on serving dishes, cut side up, then top with fruit mixture, ice cream, nuts and remaining shortcake halves.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325 degrees and generously coat a 10-inch/12-cup Bundt cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
• Make the bananas Foster filling: Peel the bananas and cut them crosswise into 1/2-inch slices. Melt butter in a medium (10-inch) skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cinnamon, then add the sliced bananas. Cook, stirring occasionally, until a sugary syrup forms, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Turn off the flame (or if using an electric stove, pull the skillet off the heat) and add the liquor, if using. Return pan to the heat and, if using a gas stove, slightly tilt the pan near the flame to flambé. (If using an electric stove, light the liquid with a long-reach lighter.) Let the flames die down, swirling the pan until the alcohol burns off. Reduce heat to low and stir briefly with a wooden spoon. (Alternatively, skip adding the alcohol, add buttermilk and cook sauce just until the liquid reduces slightly.) Strain liquid from bananas into a medium bowl to separate bananas and sauce; set both aside.
• Make the cake: In a stand mixer or with a hand-held mixer on medium speed, cream together granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Sift the flour into a medium bowl. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, mix together the sour cream and buttermilk.
• Once the butter is creamed, add 1 egg at a time and mix until each is fully incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.
• Add half the flour and mix on low speed until fully incorporated. With the mixer running, add the buttermilk mixture in a slow, steady stream and mix until fully incorporated. Add the remaining flour and mix.
• Once fully combined, add the vanilla and mix to incorporate. By hand, fold in strained bananas.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth evenly. Bake for 65 to 80 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean.
• While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into the bowl with the reserved banana sauce and whisk to combine. If the glaze is too thick, thin with water (or buttermilk), 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's smooth, drizzles easily and coats the back of a wooden spoon.
• Once cake has cooled, invert it onto a large serving plate, and spoon the glaze over. Slice the cake and serve with ice cream or whipped cream and candied pralines, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• Sift into mixing bowl flour, baking soda and salt.
• Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Carefully stir in banana puree to make damp dough.
• Turn out onto a floured surface and roll 1 inch thick.
• Cut into 2 1/2-inch circles with a floured cutter.
• Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake until about 30 minutes, until golden.
• Combine the 2 1/2 cups cream and brown sugar in heavy saucepan.
• Cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, 10 to 12 minutes (do not scorch).
• Let cool about 10 minutes.
• While cooling, whip the rest of the cream and granulated sugar together until soft peaks form.
• To assemble, stir the rum& and banana liqueur into the warm sauce.
• Split the biscuits and place on individual plates.
• Top with the banana slices, drizzle with some sauce, and then whipped cream.

Steps:

• Melt butter and sugar in a small frying pan. Add banana pieces and sauté over medium heat until lightly browned, turning pieces once. Sprinkle with cinnamon. Remove pan from heat.
• Add liqueur and rum to pan. To flambé, carefully light sauce with long-reach lighter. Spoon flaming sauce over the banana pieces until flame is extinguished.
• Serve warm banana pieces and sauce over vanilla ice cream.

Steps:

• In a large, deep skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar, rum, vanilla and cinnamon. When mixture begins to bubble, place bananas and walnuts in pan. Cook until bananas are hot, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve at once over vanilla ice cream.
