Summary
Notes: Overripe bananas freeze beautifully — just peel them and place them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. When you're ready to use them, place them in a colander in the sink to drain — they'll give up a lot of liquid and look totally repulsive, but they work beautifully. To make homemade buttermilk: place 2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup. Fill cup with milk until it reaches the 1/2-cup line. Let stand for five minutes. Loaf Pans: I love this Chicago Metallic 8.5 x 4.5 - inch loaf pan for this recipe. You need two pans for this recipe. Flour: unbleached, all-purpose is best Eggs: I almost always use 4 eggs, because the eggs I buy are fairly large. Recently, the eggs I purchased were on the small side, so I used 5 eggs. I can never tell the difference between using 4 or 5 eggs, so use the amount you wish. 4 eggs will likely suffice always.
