Banana walnut bread

I always love to have this in Starbucks. I am just craze of it.
Once my friend got it home and I was surprised to hear that she made it home.
Learnt it from her right away and I just love it.
Believe me it justs tastes like Starbucks.
It's always been a hit whenever I made it and everyone loves it.
So here goes the recipe.

 Ingredients :

1 -   1 stick butter (Keep it in room temperature one hour before your making the dough)

2 -   1 Cup sugar
3 -    2 eggs (Keep it in room temperature one hour before your making the dough)

4 -    11/2 cup maida

5 -    1tsp baking soda

6 -    1 pinch salt

7 -    1 cup mashed ver ripe banan ( usually 3)

8 -    1/2 cup sour cream

9 -   1tsp vanilla essence (opt)

10-  1/2 cup nuts either walnut or pecan

Note : Cup and tsp are the measuring thing sold in shop not our rice cooker cup or usual tsp.

           ( because i thot it that way initially ;-)... measurements are very important)

Preparation :

- Mix sugar and butter and mix thoroughly so that they make a smooth paste (creamy like  ).

- Add eggs one by one and beat again so that it mixes well.

- Add maida little by little and mix well...We want everything to be mixed well before we add the next ingredient.

- Add baking soda, salt , vanilla ess(if u have ) and mix well.

- Add sour cream and mix well

- Mash the bananas in hand well and the add them in this and mix well.

- Preheat the oven in 350 degree C for 10 min. In this time u can put the nuts in a tray  or foil

  and keep it in oven.It makes the nuts crispy.

  Then break the nut into two or three pieces and add them in the dough

  and mix it lightly( too much mixing with the electric mixer makes the nuts break)

- Grease the loaf ban with butter and pour the mixer in loaf pan and keep it in oven in 375 degree C for 50 min to 1 hour or until it bakes.

  Insert a tooth pick and when it comes out clean, then bread is ready.

- Keep it outside and allow it to cool.

- Take the bread out of the loaf pan and cut it into pieces and keeping it in fridge for a little time

  makes the bread look in good form and tastes good too.
