Instructions

  1. Slice very thin, crosswise, three medium size bananas, and sprinkle thickly with sugar.
  2. Make a batter by beating up four egg-yolks and two whites, with one cup crumbled rich stale cake, half-cup sugar, cup very rich milk, and the juice of a large lemon. Add the sugared bananas to it.
  3. Mix smooth, pour into a deep pudding dish, and bake in a quick oven.
  4. Then cover with meringue made from the egg-whites left out, beaten up with a small pinch of salt, two teaspoons cold water, and six tablespoonfuls of sugar.
  5. Return to the oven and let barely color.
  6. Serve hot or cold.
