* In another bowl mix 2 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt
* In another bowl mix 1/2 cup sour (buttermilk)" milk 1 tsp soda

Mix banana mixture and flour mixture together gradually adding milk mixture to them
At the last add 1 tsp vanilla. 1 cup chopped walnuts (if you like).
Bake at 350f for 45 minutes

私の大好きなアメリカ人の妹のレシピです。彼女流の作り方で日本で作ってみましたが、難しいのは同じ材料が手に入らないこと。それと、量がもう一つクリアでないこと。アメリカの計量スプーンはもちろん持っているけどtspってtea spoonの略なのか、table spoonの略なのか、いざつくり始めたら判らなくなった。2回目はMyDと一緒に作ってうまく行った。写真が2度目の作品だが、下に敷いているなべ敷きは、彼女の手作りのキルトです。私にクリスマスプレゼントとして作ってくれたものだそうです。

Banana Cake
* 砂糖1 1/2 カップ(375cc)     バター1/2カップ(125cc)   卵2個      完熟したバナナ3本
全材料をクリーム状になるまで混ぜる。
* 小麦粉カップ2(アメリカの1カップは250cc)     ベーキングパウダー小さじ2   塩小さじ1/4を
ボールにいれ混ぜる。
* バターミルク1/2 (なければ牛乳に大匙1杯の酢を入れて作る)   炭酸小さじ1 
バナナミックスと粉を良く混ぜ、バターミルクを少しずつたらして混ぜる。最後にバニラを小さじ1混ぜ、好みでくるみの砕いたものを入れる。 170度で45分焼く。(オーブンの種類によってもっと短くても良い)

Yoshie! This receipe orginally came from my Great Grandmother. When she first came West to California, she traveled part of the way on what was then called a wagon train. People traveled in covered wagons that were pulled by horses. When it was time to stop for the night, they would put the wagons in a circle, to provide a better defense against raids by Indians.

This is a very interesting comment for me to learn about old America. Before she came West to California, where had she live?
