Ingredients for Banana Bread:

• 10 oz plain flour
• 1 tsp bicarb
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 oz butter
• 8oz golden caster sugar
• 2 free range eggs
• 1 large or two small VERY ripe bananas
• 4 fl oz buttermilk or milk with a dash of lemon juice
• 1 tsp good quality vanilla extract

Method for Banana Bread:

1. Sift flour, bicarb and salt into a bowl.
2.  Cream the butter and sugar together.
3.  Add eggs, buttermilk, mashed bananas and vanilla extract.  Mix together and fold in flour.
4.  Use a small greased loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes on gas 4.  It often needs another 5 to 10 minutes extra.  Test by putting a skewer in.  If it comes out clean the bread is done.

It is a very good recipe and it’s unfortunate that I can’t eat much of it myself.
