Banana bread
So tasty, I must write it down. (Baker’s Illustrated crossed with Joy of Cooking.)
240 g (2 c.) flour
1/2 t salt
3/4 t baking soda
3/4 c. brown sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 c. sour cream
1 t vanilla
6 T melted butter
3 overripe bananas, mashed
Whisk dry. Beat wet. Fold bananas into wet. Fold wet & dry together. 350degF, almost an hour. (300degF in my oven, 40 min. loaves, 25 min. muffins.)
Variations:
4 bananas
1/4 c. yogurt
1 egg
1/4 vanilla bean innards
So far, a v. forgiving recipe. So adapt away—use what you got.
