1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9" x 5" x 3" loaf pan. Cream the
sugar and butter with an electric mixer until light. Add the eggs and
mix well. On low speed, mix in the bananas, milk, and vanilla. Stop
the mixer and add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until just
combined, then stir in the mini chocolate chips and nuts. Transfer
batter to prepared pan. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the
center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pan 5 minutes;
turn onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
** NOTE: Mini chocolate chips work better than regular chips because
the regular size ones tend to sink to the bottom of the loaf during
baking.

The History of Recipes
We can follow the history of written recipes back into ancient history, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, mostly, these ancient recipes were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for food preparation.
Later on, we find some interesting books which were published in the 14th Century - one book titled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary titled `Curye on Inglish`. Surprisingly, they are nothing to do with the indian food that appears on menues today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals cooked for the upper classes of the period. By the advent of the twentieth century, cook books are greatly in demand as a result of better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
