Melt the butter in a heavy based frying pan over a medium heat.

Add the brown sugar and stir together.

Add the cream and mix together.

Add the bananas and chopped pecans - the mixture should be bubbly.

Stir in the rum, then carefully ignite with a flame (use a long taper if you have an electric hob, or tip the pan to get the flame from the gas burner). The mixture will flame for 30-60 seconds, you can shake it to help calm it down - always be careful when flambéing.

Stir in the cinnamon.

Serve the bananas with ice-cream or more double cream.
