Banana Souffle
I keep thinking that banana souffle is a seventies dish, but I found a recipe for it in my grandmother’s 1950s handwritten book:
Banana Souffle
Peel and slice 4 bananas & rub through sieve: melt 1 oz of butter & stir in 1 oz of flour & add 1 gill of milk, stir over fire till none of the mixture is on the sides of the pot. Take pot off fire and add the yolks of 3 eggs one at a time, stir in the banana pulp & ½ teaspoon of vanilla & 1 oz of caster sugar, stir well and add the stiffly beaten whites of eggs.
Turn into a well greased souffle dish. Bake for 20 mts.
PS The picture has nothing to do with the recipe. I looked at my shopping list and found a picture to reflect what I ought to be buying. It’s fun, so expect really inappropriate pictures from time to time.

I’m just relieved the Banana Souffle doesn’t includ green beans!
