So to those who are following my old account sorry but I will be getting rid of that just as soon as I have attempted the impossible and tried to bring the content over to the new page. The new page is a little empty at the moment, but all you have to do is click like. Over there ---------->
So..... I have no food in the fridge, well limited food in the fridge, which, to be honest is an unusually occurrence for me.
I do however have a banana which probably should have been eaten a week ago, and has turned black. One banana is not much good, so a quick rummage through the freezer, to find the other two bananas I put in there a couple of months ago. And what do we have? Banana bread I think. I haven't made it for the longest time.
I am, however out of milk, yet for some strange reason happen to have some cream in the fridge, so my fridge isn't completely empty. Oh and there is eggs and butter in there too, but even an empty fridge has these vital ingredients, doesn't it. Well mine does.
So out of nothing comes something.....
Banana Bread
100g butter
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 eggs
2 tablespoons golden syrup
3 very very old bananas, mashed
1/2 cup of cream
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Pre heat the oven to 180C
Cream the butter and sugar together, add the vanilla, eggs, golden syrup, bananas and cream and stir through. Sift in the flour and baking powder into the banana mixture and stir until combined.
Pour into a lined loaf tin and bake for 45 minutes or until cooked.

Hi Sophia
ReplyDeleteI just love the empty fridge dilemma, as out such situations have sprung many adaptations of already great recipes
As one of many oldies that grew up in small town NZ where a budget meant that you made do with what you had a skill that turned into an art form, which you have had since a young child.
I remember one situation you wanted to make an apple cake and two apples were left in the bowl so you ADAPTED the recipe and your apple and pear cake was born
again keep up the good work

I am so glad that I am not the only blogger who seems to be slightly technologically challenged. I actually managed to delete my entire site when trying to add the "subscribe" icon, and called Go Daddy in tears at 2AM.
ReplyDeleteI bet the cream was an amazing addition! I've never tried a recipe with syrup before. This is going on the list! Thanks!
I had to call my sisters friend you is a bit of a computer buff, and figure out what I was doing wrong. Good old I.T. people. I hope you managed to get your site back, that would have been a disaster. Let me know if you try the recipe, thanks for stopping by as well. I'm going to pop over to yours now.
