Remove the skins from the required number of bananas, and scrape off all fuzzy portions next to skin. Dip the bananas in milk; then into toasted bread crumbs. Place in an oiled pan, and bake in a moderate oven thirty to forty minutes or until perfectly tender. Baked bananas are a very wholesome dish.
Loosen and remove the banana from the skin; then replace. Put in shallow pan, cover, and bake until skin is very dark and the banana soft, about half an hour. Serve in the skin or remove and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
