Bananas Spiced
Hello children, 
 To make this delicious dish you will need adult help.
Ingredients
Ripe bananas
Strained lime juice
Castor sugar
Mixed spice
Butter
A tablespoonful of  water to every banana used.
Method
Peel the fruit, and place them on a dish, the bottom of which has been covered with lime juice. Prick the fruit well with a fork, so that the lime flavour can penetrate, and pour the juice over the bananas  every now and then. Butter  a glass baking dish liberally, roll the bananas in the sugar until completely coated, and place them side by side in the dish. Sprinkle each with the spice, pour in the water, and bake in a moderate oven until soft. Baste with the syrup frequently, and turn over once during cooking.
They may be eaten either hot or cold. If the latter, they must be thoroughly chilled.
