.

Mix 1/2 c. Sugar and 1 saltspoon (=1/4 tsp.) of Salt.
Cut 6 Bananas in 1/2 lengthwise and crosswise,
put a layer in a baking dish.
Sprinkle over this, 1/2 of the Sugar
add 2 tsp. Lemon Juice,
and 1 Tbsp. of Melted Butter,
then another layer of Bananas,
with the remainder of the Sugar,
and the same quantity of Lemon Juice
and Butter as before.
If the Bananas are somewhat green and dry,
add 2 Tbsp. of Water.
Bake in a quick oven about 15 minutes,
or until the Sugar has made a rich brown Syrup
over the Bananas.
Cool slightly and cover with a Meringue
flavored with Lemon Juice,
and color slightly.

This is delicious!
