Substitute peaches if you’re not a big fan of bananas. Individually wrapped portions make it easy to customize this recipe!
DIRECTIONS
Directions for the bananas:
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and soak the wraps in warm water for several minutes.
- Peel and halve the bananas, brush with melted butter and sprinkle on the sugar.
- Place 2 banana halves on each wrap, roll up and secure with twine.
- Set in the oven and cook for 10 minutes until softened but still retaining shape.
Directions for the rum sauce:
- Place the rum in a pan and bring to a simmer (when bubbling the rum will flare up) add the brown sugar and stir to dissolve.
- Add the cream and continue to cook on medium heat until thickened.
Directions for the biscuits:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Sieve the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Cut in the shortening using a fork or pastry knife until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
- Add the milk and stir until the mixture pulls away from the side of the bowl.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and work in more flour until no longer sticky.
- Place the dough into a skillet and brush with milk.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Assembly:
Open up the wraps and place a slice of biscuit on the side, drizzle with the sauce.
*Keep a spray bottle of water handy in case of flare-ups.
