Food on Friday: May 2020

It's the second Friday of the month so here is Food on Friday. 

As you can see, there are 2 new themes – Desserts/Cakes & Pizza.  I hope you'll find some great stuff in your archives to share.

Feel free to add a number of things under each category and come back later in the month to add more if you would like to.   

To add your dishes, just put the name of the dish together with your blog name/name into the first Mr Linky box you will find below.  Then paste the url for your post about it into the second box. Mr Linky now makes you tick a compliance box which I always forget first time!

I'll be pinning your creations to the relevant Pinboards –  Desserts, Cakes and Pizza

Have fun and stay safe!

Banana Loaf with Lemon Drizzle

As you know, baking is not my forte.  So some overripe bananas spurred me into action.  The result was surprisingly successful given a couple of hitches.

Ingredients:

140g softened butter (plus a bit more to butter the tin)

140g white sugar

2 eggs, beaten

140g self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

2 ripe bananas, mashed

For the icing – 50g Icing Sugar, lemon juice

Method:

Heat your oven to 160C (about 320 F)

Butter a loaf tin – I only had a square one.  Line it with baking paper

Cream your butter and sugar together – things were going smoothly until I discovered that my stick blender was broken.  So I did this by hand – so it was nowhere near as smooth and creamy as it should have been. 

Slowly add the beaten eggs together with a smidge of flour.

Fold in the flour and baking powder and the mashed bananas.

Pour into your tin and bake for 30-40 minutes.

Leave in the tin for 10 minutes or so and then turn it out onto a wire rack.

When cool drizzle the icing over it (ahem it wasn't quite cool).
