1 ts To 2 ts lemon juice OR a pinch of unbuffered, corn-free vitamin C
1/2 To 1 ripe banana
Directions
Step #1 Yield: 1 This Banana Shortcake makes a satisfying, whole breakfast - it's not a dessert shortcake.
Step #2 Because the Banana Bread is made in advance - and probably frozen ~ the shortcake is quick & easy to put together.
Step #3 I (Marjorie Hurt Jones) sometimes serve it for "normal eating" house guests who devour every last crumb! Directions: Mash banana with a fork; whip until light & frothy.
Step #4 If you enjoy a little tang, add the lemon juice or the pinch of the vit C.
Step #5 Toast the bread lightly either in a toasster oven or in a dry frypan - homemade quickbreads don't do well in a traditional pop-up toasster.
Step #6 To assemble: Lay toasted bread on a plate; top this with a dollop of masshed banana.
Step #7 Note: If your Banana Bread is frozen be sure to take it out the evening before you want it for breakfast.
Step #8 Use a serrated bread knife for slicing.
