Quarantine Banana Bread

Learning to be a better baker has been on my new year's resolution list for the past several years.

While I can intuitively create cooking recipes, baking takes a level of precision and chemistry that I just haven't quite yet figure out. Luckily, my best friend Abby is an amazing baker.

Here is her banana bread recipe 🤍

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup sugar

• 3 Tbsp salted butter

• 2 eggs

• 3 Tbsp sour milk (1 tsp vinegar in 1/2 cup milk)

• 2 cup flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 2-3 overripe mashed bananas

• 1 cup walnuts (if desired)

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 350

• Grease and flour glass bread pan

• Beat sugar, butter, eggs and sour milk

• Combine flour and baking soda in separate bowl, sift into sugar mixture

• Mix well

• Mash bananas and stir into batter, do not over mix. Add nuts if you like. 

• Bake for 50mins-1 hr, until top springs back up when pressed (if you use a dark colored pan, start testing readiness after 45 mins)

• Let stand for 15 mins then remove from pan

For sticky top (the best) put into fridge until cooled through. 

Serve in thick slices w butter if preferred, can quickly fry a slice on a pan to toast it.
