Bananas Flambe

Step 3: Prep your ingredients

This one's easy also

1. Slice your bananas into your favourite size chunks, I find bisecting (like a banana split) lengthwise, then cutting into 8 total pieces yields a good piece size. 
2. Clean your lemon - wash it to remove that wax they put on, since we'll be zesting it and you don't want nasty chemicals in your food.
3. Put a slice in your lemon, leaving it intact so it's easier to zest into the pan, if you prefer, zest the whole lemon beforehand - The choice is yours!
4. Tidy before you start!  Toss banana peels out so they're not in the way!

Now is also a good time to get someone ready on the ice cream.  They'll need to have it dished up ready to get the hot awesomeness that's about to spring forth from your culinary mastery.
