Banana Bread
2oz butter
7oz caster sugar
1 egg
2 ripe bananas
5oz sour cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 tsp cinnamon
pinch of salt
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
6 1/2oz plain flour
- Preheat the oven to 150 degrees celcius.
- Grease a loaf tin and sprinkle with a mixture of caster sugar and cinnamon, this gives the finished banana bread a lovely slightly crips crust.
- Cream the butter and sugar together.
- Add the egg, mashed up bananas, vanilla, cinnamon and sour cream and mix together.
- Finally add the salt, flour and bicarbonate of soda.
- I add sliced banana to the top before I cook it to give a nice effect.
- Pour in to the loaf tin and bake for approximately 1 hour, test with a skewer to make sure it comes out clean.

ReplyDeleteI love banana bread, never put sour cream in before though! The shape of your baguette is unique yet lovely, most importantly did you put water in the oven to create steam? ;-)
