Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. 1½ pints of milk

Cook safely

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

  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. 1½ pints of milk, ½ box gelatine (cook in cup of cold water), 3 bananas.
  2. Put milk on to boil with pinch of salt, when it is boiling hot add the sugar.
  3. Dip enough milk into the gelatine to dissolve it, then put all into the milk and let boil for ten minutes hard, cut bananas in thin small pieces.
  4. When all is cool put the bananas in the gelatine and milk, then pour into your mould.
  5. Eat next day with whipped cream.
