I've gotten hold of my mother's hoard of clipped and written recipes, and although our cooking has changed enormously from the 1940's and '50's to now, I do pick up some jewels here and there! This is one of those dishes which kids will love. It's easy and nutritious, and although I did not test it again, it seems to me it will work just fine. Mom is 90 and will be 91 in January. They did not always bother about exact ingredients then, although this recipe sounded fairly accurate. I'm sure you can make a white sauce by eyeballing some ingredients ... Ingredients:
6 bananas (just-ripe and fat) |
6 slices ham, nice quality |
2 teaspoons cornflour |
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder |
2 teaspoons butter |
1 cup milk |
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Oven: 350 F/180 deg Celsius.
2. Roll a ham slice around each banana.
3. Put into a greased oven dish.
4. Make a white sauce by mixing together the cornflour, mustard, butter and milk, and adding some salt and pepper to taste.
5. Bring to a boil while stirring. Cover the bananas and ham with the white sauce.
6. Sprinkle over the grated cheddar. Bake until pale golden brown.
