This recipe uses the creaming method for makeup, that is, the butter and sugar are creamed together before the bananas and dry ingredients are added!. Creaming incorporates air pockets in the mixture and adds to the lightness of the loaf!. You can mix the butter, sugar, and eggs as much as you like—the fluffier, the better but mix the flour as little as you can!. As the flour is mixed, the proteins form the gluten that will make your bread tough and chewy!.

This particular recipe is loaded with bananas to make it moist and flavorful!. It relies primarily on baking powder for leavening though the aeration of the butter mixture helps!. It also uses baking soda!. Baking soda is alkaline and requires an acid for a chemical reaction that creates bubbles!. In this case, lemon juice is the acid!. The baking soda neutralizes the acid in the lemon juice so you probably will not taste the juice!. You could substitute buttermilk for the milk and juice in the recipe!. The acid in the buttermilk would react with the soda just as the lemon juice does!.

1!. Carefully measure the flour and then combine the flour with the remaining dry ingredients!.

2!. Mix the mashed bananas and the lemon juice together and set aside!.

3!. Cream the butter and sugar together!. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition!. Beat until light and fluffy!.
