Banana bread
Ingredients:

100 grams, soft butter

175 grams, caster sugar

2 eggs

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 teaspoon of baking powder

2 tablespoons of milk

You will also need a loaf tin, one that is about 17cm x 9cm x 9cm.

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 180C / 350F / gas mark 4. Lightly grease the loaf tin with a little bit of butter and line it with non-stick baking paper. Set aside.

1. Put all the ingredients into a mixing bowl. Beat them together for about 2 minutes until they are blended well. You can use an electric mixer or do it by hand with a wooden spoon.

2. Spoon the mixture into the tin and make sure the top of the mixture is level.

3. Bake for about 1 hour, until it is well risen and golden brown. When you put a knife or a skewer into the loaf, it should come out clean.

4. Take the loaf out of the oven and leave it to cool in the tin for a few minutes.

5. Loosen the edges with a knife and turn the loaf out.

6. Remove the lining paper and leave the loaf to cool on a wire rack.

7. Serve the loaf in thick slices.
