Start Here: Instructions for Becoming a Better Cook: A Cookbook

By Sohla El-Waylly

This is a wonderful banana bread with bananas as the star and brown butter in the supporting role. No spice, no chocolate chips and no nuts needed. My 4 bananas came in closer to 400-410 grams and the bread needed a little longer in the oven (tented the last 15-20 minutes). Also I believe the recipe could be better written/needs an edit. She should probably have started with the brown butter since it needs to sit in the fridge until creamy (after browning). This takes at least 20 minutes. I would do this before mashing bananas etc., even could be done ahead of time. Also the ingredients list calls for 2 whole eggs (and 1 yolk), but in the directions there is only reference to one egg to be added to bananas. I used 2.
