Instructions: Preheat oven to gas mark 4 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). You will need a 1.5litre shallow ovenproof dish.

Begin by whisking the egg and sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture becomes pale and thickened.

Then fold in the sieved cornflour the zest and juice of the lemons and the sherry folding to mix everything well.

After that peel the bananas and cut them into 2.5cm thick diagonal slices.

Melt the butter in a fryingpan and when it begins to melt and foam add the banana slices.

Turn them over gently in the butter and cook them for a few minutes until they begin to change colour.

Then spoon them into the baking dish cover completely with the lemon sauce and add a generous grating of fresh nutmeg.

All this can be done ahead of time.

When you are ready to serve pop them into a pre heated oven bake for 20 minutes and serve hot.

Can all be prepared well in advance and just needs popping into the oven 20 minutes before you need it.

Serves 4
