--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   9 1/2  Tbsp          Butter
     1/2  C             Brown Sugar
   1 1/2  C             Granulated Sugar
   1      C             Bananas -- mashed
   2                    Eggs
   1      Tbsp          Vanilla Extract
     1/4  C             Dark Rum
   2      C             Flour
   1      tsp           Baking Soda
     1/2  tsp           Salt
   1      tsp           Ground Cinnamon
     1/2  tsp           Nutmeg
     1/4  tsp           Ground Ginger
     1/2  C             Sour Cream
   2      lg            Bananas, Unripe -- cut into 1/3" slices
   1 1/4  C             Walnuts -- broken

Preheat oven to 350 F. In a 10-inch oven-proof skillet, melt 5 1/2 Tbs of
the butter with the brown sugar over very low heat. Meanwhile, in a large
mixing bowl, cream the remaining 4 Tbs of butter with the white sugar
until light. Add the mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla and rum; stir. Then add
the flour, baking soda, salt and spices; beat in sour cream. Arrange the
banana slices in a pretty pattern in the skillet with the brown sugar
mixture; top with the walnuts. Pout the batter over all and place in the
oven for 50 to 60 mins or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes
out clean. Turn out immediately onto a plate. Serve with ice cream if you
are feeling especially sinful.
