Delightful Afternoon Treat of My Grandmother's

Slice the bananas

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the bananas until they're golden brown

Place them on a baking dish, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar

Separate the egg whites and beat them in a snow-like consistency at high speed

Add 2 rounded tablespoons of sugar to each egg white without stopping to stir, until the sugar dissolves (test by lifting some of the mixture with a spatula) and reaches a meringue state

Clean the mixer and beat the yolks as well in high speed

When they become light and form bubbles, add 1 rounded tablespoon of sugar per yolk

Beat until it acquires greater consistency

Cover the bananas with the beaten egg whites

Spread the meringue on top

Preheat the oven to a low temperature (do not preheat) and place the cake in the lowest rack

Remove from the oven as soon as the meringue starts to brown

Serve warm.
