Steps:
- 1. Heat the oven to 375°F. Generously butter bottom and sides of an 8×8-inch baking dish; set aside.
- 2. Peel plantains and trim 1/4 inch off both ends. Slice plantains at an angle to make 1/2-inch oval slices. Layer the plantain slices in the bottom of the baking dish, slightly overlapping slices. (You should get 4 to 5 rows, depending on width of the plantains.)
- 3. Mix together the sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle it evenly over the top of the layers. Then drizzle the rum and orange juice over the layers. Distribute the butter pieces evenly on top.
- 4. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until the plantains are golden brown and beginning to lose their shape. Cool at least 10 minutes, then serve warm or completely cooled. It's great as is, but you can also top each serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for an added touch of sweetness.
