DEAD EASY BANANA BREAD Got a bowl & a fork? You can make this. No electric beaters, no creaming of butter & sugar. Ive made this a hundred times & its impossible to bugger up. 4 medium over-ripe (1 1/3 cup) bananas, mashed (I had 3 big ones & I think it was more like 2 cups, but it doesnt matter), 1 1/2 cups self raising flour, 1/2 cup melted butter/marg (I used vegetable oil once as Id run out of butter & it turned out fine), 3/4 cup sugar (I only had half a cup left in the packet, doesnt matter), 2 eggs, beaten, 1 teaspoon vanilla essence or a few drops of vanilla extract (and if you dont have it, doesnt matter, maybe a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg?), a pinch of salt. 1/2 cup choc chips, nuts, raisins, what ever you fancy (optional, I didnt). Preheat your oven to 180c. In a big bowl mash your bananas, add melted butter, add in beaten eggs & vanilla (or spices), mix, add sugar & salt, give it another mix, add flour & stir till just combined, add the choc/nuts/etc if you want, give it one last stir & pour into a greased tin (I lined mine with baking paper but you dont have to), bake for one hour. Test with skewer or thin knife (the knife should come out clean, if batter is sticking to the knife, put it back in the oven for awhile). EDIT I keep my salt in a jar labelled arsenic. It amuses me :) Lisa.
