Рецепт Just Like Mom Used To Make
Growing up I don’t ever remember eating anyone else’s baking except my mothers. She baked for all the neighbors, so when I would go over and play with the neighbor kids I was either eating my own mother’s cookies or store bought ones. So I really had no comparison.
When I went off to college I choose banana bread one morning for breakfast. It tasted nothing like my mother’s and I chalked it up to just being bad cafeteria food. We had many local cafes around the college and so one time while on a coffee run I bought a slice of banana bread. Nope, didn’t taste like hers either. I repeated this process many times until I finally broke down and told my mom that no one makes banana bread like her. She just smiled and said that is because I make mine with Graham flour.
What the heck was that I thought? My mom explained that it was a type of wheat flour, the kind used in graham crackers and it’s what gives her banana bread a unique taste. The hard thing was that she could not actually find in Arizona (where we were living at the time) so my aunt would have to send it to her (which is why we didn’t get banana bread all that often). Luckily nowadays you can find it quite easily as Bob’s Red Mill makes it. I find it at just about any grocery store and of course good ol’ Amazon.com (One 24 oz Bob’s Red Mill Graham Flour).
While I have made many a version of banana bread in my lifetime when I am feeling nostalgic I always go back to making my mom’s version. It’s home to me.
