  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      tablespoons   butter
   6                    bananas
     1/2                lemons -- juice only
     1/2  cup           honey
   1 1/2  tablespoons   dark rum
                        ground cinnamon -- optional

     1. Butter a baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter; or use solid
margarine, not the soft diet type.
     2. Peel bananas and leave whole or cut into 3-inch pieces. Place in a
single layer. Sprinkle with the juice of 1/2 lemon. Pour honey on top evenly
and dot with remaining 3 tablespoons butter.
     3. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for about 20 minutes. Turn bananas
once or twice as they are baking. Sprinkle with cinnamon or a few grains of
nutmeg if you prefer.
     4. Just before serving, heat rum carefully and ignite. Pour over bananas
and serve immediately.
