Ten-Inch Glisten Block

 

There are a hand full of recipes I use so often I know them by heart. I make this one at least twice a month.

 

Banana Bread

 

6 tablespoons butter, at room temperature

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup buttermilk

2 to 3 overripe bananas

3 eggs

2 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg

 

Line loaf pan with parchment, coat with cooking spray. Cream together sugar and butter. Add buttermilk, bananas, and eggs; stir until thoroughly mixed. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour dry ingredients into wet ones; stir until combined. Mixture will be lumpy. At this point, you may add walnuts. Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 one hour. Bread will be done when a knife in the center comes out clean. Cool about 20 minutes before removing from pan. Cool completely before cutting.
