Lower oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake five minutes longer and then remove.

4. While dutch baby is cooking, melt the butter for the bananas foster in a heavy skillet over a medium-high heat and add the brown sugar. Stir together and cook for a minute or two. Pour in the cream and stir it around to combine.

5. Peel the bananas and slice them about 1/2" thick. Drop the slices into the pan. Next, add the chopped nuts and stir them into the sauce. T

6. Carefully stir in the rum and let it start to bubble, and then carefully use a long lighter to ignite it. Let the fire burn and go out (takes about 20 seconds).

7. Stir in the cinnamon and spoon it over the dutch baby. Top with powdered sugar.
