Rich and Moist Banana Bread

This Rich and Moist Banana Bread recipe yield one of the moistest banana breads that I have ever tasted and the flavor is to die for.

 

When it comes to banana bread I’m always in search of a better recipe. I must have tried a gazillion! The first test for any recipe for me is that it must result in a moist loaf full of flavor.

Another one of my criteria is the ease of preparing. This recipe is very easy to make.

Bottom line: Moist, delicious, and easy to make. This could be the end of my banana bread recipe search.

Tips and Tidbits About This Rich and Moist Banana Bread

This recipe needs no improvement but it’s nice to add a sprinkle of brown sugar on the top before baking… really adds a little extra without being too sweet.

You can change the shape and still use the same recipe. I actually use this recipe to make muffins.

If you want to venture out you can use this recipe and just add in some stuff. I think chocolate chips or dried cranberries are good.

Enjoy!

Southern Pecan Pound Cake Recipe

Print
Southern Pecan Pound Cake
Ingredients
Batter:
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1⅓ cups granulated sugar
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • Tip: Use standard measuring cups and spoons or scales for accurate measuring.
Topping:
  • ¼ cup pecan halves
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Prepare one 10 inch Angel Food cake pan; lightly grease the pan with shortening and dust with flour.
Batter:
  1. By hand, break the pecans for both the batter and the topping into ¼ inch pieces. Toast nuts, cool, and then toss with 1 tablespoon flour. Set aside.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; sift or whisk together to mix. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Tip: To cream, start by placing the butter in the bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed begin by beating the butter about 1 minute until it is smooth and light in color. With the mixer still on medium speed, slowly add the sugar to the butter, either one tablespoon at a time, or in a very slow steady stream, taking from 4 to 8 minutes to add all of the sugar, and beating until the butter and sugar are fully incorporated and the mixture is a light, or pale yellow color, with a fluffy texture. While adding the sugar, stop the mixer occasionally to scrape the mixture off the paddle and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula so the mixture blends evenly.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed. Add the vanilla along with the last egg. Tip: For each egg, crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk with a fork to thoroughly break up the egg before adding to the creamed mixture. Start with the mixer on low speed so the liquid from the egg doesn’t splatter, once the egg is partially mixed increase the speed to medium. Each egg should be fully incorporated into the mixture before adding the next egg, taking about one minute to blend in each egg.
  5. With the mixer on low speed, add about ½ of the flour mixture, mix just until the flour is almost completely blended. Scrape the bowl down, and add the sour cream, blending just until mixed. Scrape the bowl down again and then add the remaining ½ flour mixture, mix just until blended, scraping down the side of the bowl as needed.
  6. Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold 1 cup toasted pecans into the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface with the back of a large spoon.
Topping:
  1. Sprinkle ¼ cup toasted pecans over the top of the batter, and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  2. Bake: Bake 55 to 65 minutes or until a long toothpick, wooden skewer, or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Place pan on a wire cooling rack to cool for 10 to 15 minutes then remove cake from the pan and place the cake on the wire cooling rack to finish cooling.

Enjoy.

Jalapeno Cheddar Cornmeal Biscuits

Jalapeno cheddar cornmeal biscuits! I love a jalapeno-cheddar combo and the cornmeal and biscuits combo so these little guys just made sense to me.

 

So today here you go, a cheesy, crusty, fatty biscuit!

You can scale the cheddar and jalapeno up or down to your liking, but you get the taste of jalapenos in this recipe without the heat, so if you’re not a spicy type of person these biscuits should still be okay.

You can use these guys to build delicious breakfast sandwiches or use them to dunk into hot (or cold) soup or eat them the way I like them slightly warmed with a drizzle of honey.

Angel Biscuits – My Favorite Biscuit Recipe

Angel Biscuits are one of my favorite biscuits, among many. My cousin first served these to me. Thanks, Cuz for these delicious biscuits!

 

I admit it. I love biscuits. I was raised on Southern buttermilk biscuits. Since that time I’ve had all kinds of biscuits.

There’s just a couple of ingredients that changes a plain old biscuit into an angel biscuit with its light fluffy texture and sweetness.

Cuz says she learned the recipe from our grandmother. But I swear I don’t ever remember having them at her house.

Nevertheless, I’ve got the recipe now and I make them all the time. Delish.

Give them a try yourself and I think you’ll agree that they are properly named. Angel Biscuits!!!

Those two ingredients that change these biscuits, by the way, are sugar and yeast.

One of the best, if not THE best, biscuits I've ever made!

Course: Bread
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Butter Dip Biscuits
Servings: 4
Calories: 395 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 4 tsp. granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 3/4 cup buttermilk
Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450F degrees. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. In a microwave-safe bowl (or you can use the baking dish that you'll be baking these in), melt stick of butter in the microwave.

  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the buttermilk.
  3. Stir until a loose dough forms. The batter will be a bit sticky.
  4. Press biscuit dough into a baking dish (right on top of the melted butter).
  5. It is easiest to spread it out with your hands. You won't get it perfectly even, but hey, that's okay, these are homemade, remember? Some of the butter will run over the top of the dough, that's perfectly okay.
  6. Take a sharp knife and cut the biscuit dough into 9 squares before baking. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, rotating dish once during baking.

 

Good To Know:

If you notice that some of the butter that is coming up to the top is getting brown, just take a paper towel and dab around the edges a bit.

Oven times do vary since different ovens have different hot spots, but basically biscuits should be golden brown on top and spring back to the touch.

Enjoy!
