Banana Republic

So, what are you supposed to do with a bushell of perfectly ripe bananas?
.
Mum's secret recipe now revealed!
.
.
First check the pantry and see if you need shop for the following ingredients:

1 cup of brown sugar
120 grams of unsalted butter
2 cups of wholemeal self raising flour
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
1/2 tespoon bicarb soda
2 eggs
1/4 cup sour milk
2 ripe bananas
.
.
Second, follow these instructions
.
Melt the butter and cream with sugar.
.

Add vanilla.
.
Sift dry ingedients (flour and bicarb) then add 1/3 to mixture

.

Add each egg, one at a time and beat into creamed mixture.
Add half of remaining dry ingedients and stir in.
.

Add milk then add remaining dry mixture and stir away.

.
Add mashed bananas, stir thoroughly.

.

Cook in moderate oven (150 degrees Celsius) for 45 minutes.

.All the effort was rewarded with my beautiful better half declaring, "mmm, that's wonderfull". We skipped supper and dined on slices of cake with Baileys and milk.

. Voila! Three cooling with one in the oven and there are still bananas left over (it was a long day).

Tip: For some reason the texture is much nicer the following day.
