Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Melt butter in large saute pan. Add vanilla bean and stir until the vanilla bean seeds begin to appear in the butter.
Step 2
Add the bananas and stir about one minute. Add brown sugar and toss gently until bananas are evenly coated and sugar has melted, about 3 minutes. Remove vanilla bean and cool. This may be done early in the day. Do not refrigerate.
Step 3
An hour or so before serving, whip the cream with the granulated sugar until firm peaks form. Beat in the sour cream just enough to combine.
