I was making them for a large group so I tripled the recipe, 3 bananas to 6 eggs, which led to more of
a liquid than a batter.
Not exact matches
I let the
batter sit for about 8 hours (due to morning enthusiasm and midday laziness rather
than any intelligent design); I think that letting it rest a short while gives the flour granules time to absorb some of the
liquid so it won't be too grainy?
I added in a little molasses into my
batter for flavor and color, and so to make up for that extra
liquid I ended up with a little extra flour, but other
than that I pretty much followed that ratio to the letter and had great success.
Since this is a quick bread, the consistency should be more like cake
batter, rather
than bread dough, so it should feel more
liquid.
If you use it cold, it'll absorb more of the
liquid and your
batter will be thicker
than it should be.
Cakes are usually a bit sweeter and lighter in texture
than quick bread (and the
batter is usually quite a bit thinner
than this one), so you might want to consider adding more
liquid and / or sweetener if you convert this into a cake.
One tip though, DEFINITELY cook it longer
than stated, especially if you're looking to use a bundt cake pan, because there is a lot of
liquid in the
batter and it's an easy one to undercook.
I found that the bowls of
batter that I overworked came out much more chewy and flat
than the pancakes I stirred just until the flour and
liquid were combined — No need to get every little flour clump out!
You'll notice after letting your
batter sit for even less
than a minute that the
batter will tighten because it absorbs a lot of the
liquid.
