Ingredients

4 Tb softened butter

A baking-serving dish just large enough to hold bananas in one layer

8 small or 4 large bananas

1/4 to 1/2 cup dry white vermouth, dry white wine, or cider

1/3 to 1/2 cup honey

1Tb lemon juice

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

Smear 2 tablespoons of the butter in the baking dish. Peel the bananas and arrange in the dish; pour on the wine or cider, honey, and lemon juice. Sprinkle with cinnamon and dot with remaining butter. (May be prepared in advance)

Baking

The bananas with take about 15 minutes in the middle of a preheated 400 degree oven, or 20-25 minutes in a 375 degree oven. Baste about every 5 minutes with the liquid in the dish until bananas are soft and liquid is syrupy. You may bake ahead, and reheat; you may serve them plain or flambeed.

To flame the bananas

1 tb granulated sugar

1/3 to 1/2 cup cognac

Be sure bananas are bubbling hot. Sprinkle on the tablespoon of granulated sugar, then pour the cognac around them ( warm the cognac in a pan if you are not using a chaffing pan). Averting your face, ignite the cognac with a lighted match and spoon it over the bananas until the flames die down. Serve on hot plates.

I've always liked this dish in the restaurants, now I can make it myself! The fire part intimidates me a little bit, but maybe I can get over it.
