Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. one-half cup of water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.

Method

  1. Wash the bananas and remove just one strip from the top.
  2. Place in a baking pan and add one-half cup of water and bake in a moderate oven for one-half hour.
