Tasty Tuesday

Time for a recipe this week, I make this banana bread regularly for conferences at our church.  It freezes extremely well and defrosted and buttered is fantastic.

I prefer it hot just out of the oven though ;)

Ingredients:

200g plain flour

1tsp baking powder

1tsp bicarbonate of soda

1 pinch of salt

125g unsalted softened butter

220g caster sugar

2 eggs

2 large or 3 small ripe bananas

Optional vanilla essence: few drops

150 ml buttermilk or regular milk soured with half a lemon squeezed (on my photo, you can actually see I did not have a lemon I used half a lime).

Gas Mark 180 degree Celsius, one loaf tin, grease proof paper.

I break the bananas into the soured milk and whizz with hand mixer till smooth, than I put the rest of the ingredients and process till all is well mixed.  I pour the mixture in the tin till 3/4 full, and I put it in the pre-warmed oven for about 45 mn. If you have slightly more mixture just put a couple of cases in a muffin tin and use remainder.  These little ones will take less long to cook so keep an eye on them.

Test by plunging a dry knife in the middle, if the mixture sticks to the knife carry on cooking for a further 5-10 minutes.  Check it again till done.  All oven work differently, make it work for you.
