Baked Bananas

Remove the skin from the bananas and cut them lengthwise in halves and arrange at the bottom of a baking-dish close together. Sprinkle them over with sugar, with a few lumps of butter on top and a little grated nutmeg over the whole, and bake in a moderate oven for twenty minutes. By this time the bananas should be well glazed, and if there is not sufficient of their own liquor to baste them with add a little to the dish a few minutes before taking out of the oven. They should be served with cake and milk.
