This is delicious tea bread recipe that my family absolutely enjoyed. It's from the 500 baking recipe book that I own. I substituted ginger with sultanas just to give it a slight variation. My family absolutely love bananas and there is a bountiful supply of this sweet fruit throughout the year. We even have a banana trees in our yard.

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cups of self raising flour
1 tsp of baking powder
3 tbsp soft butter
1/4 cup of soft light brown sugar
1/3 cup of sultanas
4 tbsp skimmed milk
2 ripe bananas, mashed

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees/350 degrees F/Gas 4. Line a grease a loaf tin about 450g/1 LB.

2. Sift flour and baking powder in a mixing bowl.

3. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then stir in sugar.

4. Add the sultanas, milk and mashed bananas and mix to a soft dough.

5. Spoon into prepared tin and bake for 40-45 mins. Run palette knife around the edges to loosen them, turn the tea bread onto a wire rack and leave to cool.

Serve with a cup of tea and any type of cheese that you love. You can also add chopped almonds to this recipe if you so desire, I did.
