Cinnamon Sauteed Bananas

I believe this is an old Helen Corbitt recipe. It is an excellent, easy dessert and complements so many things.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 4  large bananas (firmly ripe or slightly underripe)
• 2  tablespoons sugar
• 1  teaspoon cinnamon
• 1  tablespoon lemon juice
• 2  tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

1. Cut bananas crosswise into 1/4" slices.
2. Toss slices in a bowl with the sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice.
3. Heat saute pan over medium-high heat, add butter.
4. When butter is bubbly, add the bananas.
5. Holding the pan by the handle, toss the bananas every 10 seconds or so for 2-3 minutes until tender.
6. (The slices should hold their shape and be carmelized) Serve on a warm plate-- good with ice cream or angel food cake or by itself!
