2. Peel the bananas, then mash the flesh using a fork. Mix the flour, salt and nutmeg together. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
3. Stir in sugar, lemon rind, eggs and 6 tbs. Of the honey. Beat well until evenly mixed and then place in loaf pan.
4. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 1 ¼ hours, covering lightly if necessary. Test with a toothpick to be sure that it's done.
