A perfect recipe for this time of year great with a slug of tinned custard (there's nothing wrong with a cheat) or simply sliced with a large mug of tea on a cold day in front of 'Loose Women'... no just me?
You will need:
- 250g Self-Raising Flour
- 150g Brown Caster Sugar
- 100g Butter
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract (not essence, this is the work of the devil aha!)
- Loaf Tin
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
- Fork
- Breakfast Bowl
Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees.
In the mixing bowl cream together the butter and caster sugar and then in the breakfast bowl mash your banana's until they resemble a soft pulp. You still want to visibly see banana pieces i.e. don't turn the banana to something you might feed a one year old! Then add your eggs and vanilla extract to this mix and lightly whisk. Slowly add your flour to the mixing bowl and then add your banana/egg mixture slowly to the dry mixture. At this stage adding ingredients such as blue berries, crushed walnuts/pecans often produces fantastic results!
Grease your loaf tin with a little butter and pop in the batter mixture!
Pop it in the oven for roughly 45 minutes being careful to check the loaf regularly it should be a light golden brown when cooked. Be sure to pop a skewer into the middle of the loaf, it'll be ready when the skewer comes out clean!
Place onto a cooling rack and let it cool (unless your like me and you like it slightly warm!) This delicious loaf will keep moist however for best results wrap in tin foil and store in a plastic tub.
*top tip* cover the loaf with icing sugar and lemon juice that has been combined over a low heat for a delicious glazed finish!
