Banana bread with biltong butter

Serves: 8

Cooking Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

Banana bread
4 large, ripe bananas
100g butter, melted
45ml (3 tbsp) sugar
2 eggs, beaten
5ml (1 tsp) vanilla essence
230g cake flour
pinch salt
5ml (1 tsp) baking powder
Biltong butter
250g butter
100g biltong, chopped finely

Instructions

For the banana bread, preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a loaf tin. Mash the bananas using a fork. Combine the melted butter with the sugar, eggs and vanilla essence. Sieve the flour, salt and baking powder and add to the egg mixture. Mix to combine. Pour the mixture into the greased loaf tin and place in the oven, 30 – 40 minutes, until the loaf is golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.

For the butter, in a small bowl, soften the butter and mix in the sliced biltong.

Spread the biltong butter generously over the freshly baked, warm banana bread and serve, butter melting into the bread.
