Time: 1 hr 45 min Serves: 8 people
Changes in the recipe:
Browning the Butter
In this updated recipe, we added an extra step to further enhance the flavor by browning the butter, which not only elevates the taste but also adds a richness to the dish. Browning butter, a technique that involves cooking the butter until it turns to a golden brown color is an easy yet effective way to introduce a layer of richness and complexity to your desserts.
Spooning and Sifting the flour
Flour is something that is quite easy to measure incorrectly because of how easy it is to pack. In this recipe, we have specified sifting the flour before spooning it into your measuring cup to ensure consistent results, that has a light texture.
Adding Sour Cream or Yogurt
By adding sour cream or yogurt, it gives the banana bread a moist and dense texture.
