Chicken bald back

[The Dogmother]

New recipe to me, sent by a friend... totally delicious; we couldn't wait for it to cool, so ate it hot with ice cream!

 

Gluten free toffee banana loaf

 

115g/4oz butter/Stork

115g/4oz Muscovado sugar, light

115g/4oz golden syrup

1 heaped tsp cinnamon

3 ripe bananas, roughly mashed

2 eggs, beaten (I used 3 bantam eggs)

250g/9oz ground almonds

 

 

Pre-heat oven to 150C/300F/Gas 2. grease and line a loaf tin

 

Put the butter, sugar and syrup in a pan, bring to the boil then simmer the mixture for 3 minutes. It will have the appearance and thickness of fudge sauce

 

Allow to cool for about 10 minutes, then stir in the cinnamon and banana. Beat in the eggs, one at a time and fold in the almonds. The mixture is very wet and lumpy. It will not look as if it could possibly set, but it will. ( at this stage, Rosie informed me that it looked like 'cold sick' )

 

Bake for about 1.5-2 hours, or until a skewer in the centre comes out clean. I have a fan oven and baked it for just 50 minutes and it was ready.

I might make that for my friend at work who's gluten intolerant .

It's really delicious ANH

I'll be giving this a try.

Sounds nice will give it a try and give a copy to a friend who eats gluten free food. thanks DM

[The Dogmother]

Well, the first loaf has gone..... purely in the interests of testing you understand.

 

We couldn't decide whether it was nicer warm with either ice cream, custard or creme fraiche... or cold. Might have to make another one to help decide

Oh pants, I have just binned 3 squashy bananas! I already have a go-to banana cake recipe but didn't fancy making it so slung the bananas I will squirrel this recipe away for the next squashy banana incident!

[The Dogmother]

That's what I use it for. This one is incredibly easy to make.

Sounds delicious.Daughter-in-law's mum has coeliac and I always end up making pannacotta when she comes to me.Will definitely do that next time.

Ive just made this

 

Well, honestly, I made a hash if this, but it worked

 

So, I only had dark sugar, not light, and I only had 100g if almonds, so I added 150g of sr flour, so it stops it being gluten free, but...

 

It was lovely

 

I will make it again

 

Thank you

Made some last night and just had a slice with a coffee. Oh. My. Word. It is delicious! Took a bit longer than 50 mins in my fan oven, about an hour 20 in all I think. Still am not sure if it is completely cooked in the middle as it is quite a damp mixture. Will pass the recipe onto my gluten intolerant friend

[The Dogmother]

Did you eat it warm Karin?

 

In my opinion it is best warm with custard or ice cream.

[bluekarin]

No, I made it last night and had a piece this evening. I think the next one I will warm for a short burst in the microwave and add some ice-cream - just to test it
