Sliced Bananas In Banana Bread?Posted Aug 2nd 2005 12:27AM by Deidre WoollardFiled under: DessertThis weekend I was watching the bonus features for the DVD of Cursed (I know, I know) and they had a little goofy skit where the crew was making banana bread. Then they sliced the bananas. Sliced? Funny how I can be fooled by gallons of fake blood in a movie but show sliced instead of mashed bananas in the bonus documentary and my logic detector immediately goes off. This sent me off on a search to see if perhaps I was just wrong, maybe some people slice their bananas. I determined that if they do they are in deep cover on the web, it was all mashing everywhere, sometimes in a mixer or sometimes the standard fork method I use. But it got me thinking about our ingrained culinary habits. I tend to cook without recipes and by habit with old favorites and banana bread is definitely one of them. Maybe it was time for a change. I went over to epicurious and took a look at their recipes picking and choosing the elements I liked (I'm not so much of a recipe girl). I decided to go mix things up a bit, replacing sugar with brown sugar and using butter instead of oil. I also added a bit of lemon juice and some buttermilk. It was delicious banana bread but it wasn't my banana bread, it was too good. It's just a bit annoying that I've been using an inferior recipes all these years. It makes me wonder what over recipes I could be sprucing up. My challenge to the slashfoodies out there is to take one of your default recipes throw a few tweaks in it and let me know your experiences.
