2. One-third cup (76 grammes) of melted butter, devoid of salt or not
3. A half-teaspoon of baking powder
4. Not powder, but half a teaspoon of baking soda
5. A single pinch of salt
6. 3/4 cup (150g) sugar (use 1 cup for a sweeter taste, or 1/2 cup for less)
7. One enormously battered egg
8. One half cup of all-purpose flour 205 g
9. one tsp of vanilla essence

5. Stir together the baking soda and salt with the remaining ingredients. Stir in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla essence. Add the flour and stir.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake.
7. Bake at 350°F/175°C for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick or wooden skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. A few dry

9. After serving, remove from the oven and let cool slightly in the pan. Remove the banana bread from the pan and let it cool completely before serving.
