This banana bread is from KAF cookbook again. I scale down the sugar and oil.
Recipe: Banana bread (1 9x5 loaf)
Ingredients:
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 tp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tp baking soda
- 2 tp baking powder
- 1 tp salt
- 1 tp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tp ground nutmeg
- 2+1/2 cup KAF unbleached all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup evaporated skim milk
Procedure:
1. Sieve together salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, flour.
2. Beat 2 eggs with sugar and oil until foamy. Add vanilla extract.
3. Grease a 9x5 pan with crisco shortening. Preheat oven to 350F.
4. Transfer egg mixture into a large bowl. Add dry ingredients all at once. Mix well.
5. Stir in skim milk and sour cream.
6. Pour into greased pan. Bake at 350F for about 1 hour.

Observations:
1. The original recipe calls for 1 cup of sour cream and 1 tp of baking soda. However, since I only have 1/4 cup of sour cream, I use only 1/4 tp of baking soda. However, I forget to scale up the baking powder by 1 tp. At the end, I just stir in an extra 1/2 tp of baking powder. As it turns out, the result isn't too bad.
