Torta de Banana

Ingredients

 * 4-5 bananas
 * 6 egg yolks and whites separated
 * 1 cup sugar
 * 1 stick unsalted butter or margarine, melted
 * vegetable oil (I like Canola)
 * 12 Tbsp of sugar (for the meringue)

Directions

 * Preheat oven to 300° F.
 * Peel and halve the bananas.
 * Fry them in a little Canola oil and arrange them at the bottom of a round pyrex bowl.
 * Mix the egg yolks with 1 cup of sugar, add melted butter and mix well.
 * Pour over the bananas.
 * To make the meringue, beat the egg whites until stiff.
 * Slowly add 12 Tbsp of sugar.
 * Turn mixture (but do not beat) for 15 minutes.
 * Pour meringue over the bananas, or use a piping bag to squeeze it decoratively over the bananas.
 * Cook in oven for 30 minutes.
 * Serve warm.
