Had some over ripe bananas hanging around this weekend and a monsoon afternoon, so it was worth turning the oven on to make banana bread, a favorite of our DS and my DH. Recipe said I could use any fat, butter, oil, coconut oil, a blend thereof. My eye wandered from the olive oil, to the coconut oil to the real salted butter. I stopped when I saw the mason jar of real bacon fat. I felt guilty, I even looked over my shoulder. Should I?????
Ended up doing a blend 50/50 of butter and bacon fat. Then, to my own surprise found myself putting in a 1/2 cup of crumbled fresh cooked bacon. My DH thought I was nuts when I told him. Suffice it to say there is only 1/4 loaf left of the 2 large loaves I made. DH said best ever. This thread is really the gift that keeps giving.
