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.
