In a skillet or chafing dish, melt the butter and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Stir over low heat just until the sugar melts. [Note: cooking the sugar mixture too long or over too high heat will cause the sugar to seize, and begin to turn into "candy."] Stir in the sliced bananas and continue to cook gently over low heat until bananas are tender and golden.
Stir in the banana liqueur, if using, and allow it to warm through.
In a small, long-handled pot, heat the rum until quite warm, but not simmering or boiling. EITHER hold a lighted match over the rum to ignite it - then pour the flaming rum over the banana mixture, OR pour the warmed rum over the banana mixture and then ignite it. Allow the flames to subside without stirring (this burns off the "raw" taste of the alcohol) then spoon the mixture over the ice cream in the bowls.
Variations:
Bananas Foster is sometimes served without the ice cream, just spooned onto small dessert plates. It may be garnished, in any case, with mint sprigs.
