The buñuelo is a classic in world pastry, and this version with banana flambéed with rum gives it a spectacular twist. This easy recipe lets you make golden, crispy-on-the-outside, soft-and-juicy-on-the-inside fritters at home, bathed in flamed rum that adds an intense and aromatic flavor. It's the perfect dessert to surprise your guests at a special dinner or to enjoy with family on a weekend.
The secret is in the flambé: heating the rum and setting it on fire not only removes some of the alcohol but also caramelizes the sugars and enhances the aromas. Dare to make them and become the hero of the after-meal conversation.
