fenchurchWe saw this on "Good Eats" ages ago, but finally had everything we needed to give it a try. It's a really simple thing, but wow... was it good!
Just take some bananas, leave the peel on (this helps keep sugar off the sides when you add it) and cut them in half lengthwise. Then either press them into sugar, or sprinkle sugar on top (we did the latter so I could better control the amount of sugar being used... it ended up being 1 Tablespoon sugar for each banana). Remove the peel and place bananas on a wire rack set in a metal baking sheet lined with foil and placed on a surface that won't be damaged by heat. Then use a kitchen torch, running it along each banana until the sugar bubbles and starts to turn brown. Wait a few minutes until the sugar has finished solidifying, and then eat!
The banana gets cooked by the kitchen torch and is sweet and creamy, and the sugar forms a light crispy, crunchy crust. Absolutely wonderful and we'll definitely be doing this one again.
For those on my flist doing Weight Watchers, one Banana Brûlée (using a large banana and 1 Tablespoon of sugar) is only 3 points. And oh so yummy.
