Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour 2
small (4 x 7 inch) loaf pans, or line muffin tins. Combine
flour, soda and salt, sift into medium bowl. In a large
bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs,
vanilla and spices, beat well. Blend in buttermilk, then
alternate adding bananas and flour mixture until batter is
smooth and well mixed. Spoon into pans and bake on center
rack in preheated oven until done, about 50 minutes for
bread, 25 minutes for standard muffins and 20 minutes for
mini-muffins. Let cool in pans for a few minutes, turn out
onto wire racks, dust loaves with powdered sugar when cool. |
