banana bread

Ingredients

4 small bananas/ 2-3 big bananas ripe mash well
sugar/ sugar substitute 2 tbsp        
maida/ refined flr. 11/2 cup
baking pdr 1 tsp
butter 2 tbsp
nuts &; raisins as you desire
eggs 2 or those who don't eat eggs, may use 3 tbsp of curd

Method
those who eat eggs may beat 2 eggs & add to the banana mixture, without eggs, mix all ingredients well with a hand beater/ wooden spoon well. Grease a baking dish , pour the batter, bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. To check insert a knife, it should come out clean.

ps- there is no hard &;; fast rule as to how much banana or flour needs to be added. Once you've added all the ingredients, it should be like the idli batter, or as you count five, it should drop from the spoon when you hold the batter up. If it falls too quick, then add a little more flour, if it doesn't drop down by the count of 5, then add some milk/ curd, adding curd to cake also makes it soft. The sugar can be adjusted according to taste.

ps- when you bake it depends on how big your oven is, so the baking time varies a lot. so, better to keep an eye or keep your nose wide open to smell the cake being baked !
