I have a great banana bread recipe acquired from a homemade cookbook.
Banana bread is a great thing to make,
and it doesn't really require great baking skills in order to make a good banana bread,
just the right ingredients.
and the right oven temperature.
and the appropriate amount of time in the right oven temperature.
if that is gourmet cooking for one then that one ought not be cooking....
or learn really fast.
Usually one hour works, but I have acquired a different oven since I last made banana bread.
I only took it out 5 minutes early because we were leaving for the whole rest of the day, not to return until after regular kid bedtime.
The bread caved.
In the center after baking for an hour and cooling the rest of the day was an ooey-gooey center of banana bread dough that I was bringing to a party the next day.
I just left it. wrapped it in foil.
the people loved the ooey-gooey center of banana bread.
So does that mean it really was done? If everyone loved the ooey-gooey undone center?
You could argue that it would be your goal in baking it that way, couldn't you?
It tasted great. You all should try it sometime.
Happy baking....
Here's the recipe I used:
2 1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. mashed bananas
4 Tbsp. sour cream
Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and set aside.
Cream butter and sugar.
Beat in egg.
Mix in mashed bananas, sour cream and vanilla.
Spoon dry ingredients into cream mixture quickly.
Grease and flour loaf pan (large).
Do not fill up loaf pan.
Bake @ 350 F for about 1 hour (depending on desired gooeyness)
