AYALLA'S BANANA BREAD
BANANA-BREAD - Banana-nut bread
This recipe is from my friend Ayalla. It makes a heavy, but
moist, loaf of banana bread.
INGREDIENTS (1 loaf)
3 very ripe bananas
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening (butter)
2 eggs
3 Tbsp yoghurt or sour cream
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup chopped walnuts
rum, vanilla, or amaretto (optional)
PROCEDURE
(1) Preheat the oven to 350 deg. F. Cream the shor-
tening and sugar.
(2) Mix in the bananas.
(3) Mix in the remaining ingredients.
(4) Pour into a greased loaf pan.
(5) Bake 1 hour 15-20 minutes at 350 deg. F.
NOTES
If you use more than 3 normal-size bananas, I suggest that
you lower the oven temperature and cook for a while longer.
Otherwise, the crust comes out almost overcooked while the
middle remains moist and almost undercooked.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: Preparation: 10 minutes; baking:
at least 95 minutes. Allow some time for cooling. Preci-
sion: Approximate measurement OK.
