Banana Cream Pie

Put a lump of butter in a basin and warm it together with a little crushed loaf-sugar, the yolks of two or three eggs, a little milk and sherry or angelica, and some pulp of bananas mashed thoroughly. Pour the mixture into a deep dish, stirring in the well-whipped whites of a couple of eggs; place the dish in a moderate oven and bake until done, taking care not to bake too quickly. Then remove and serve.
