Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1-1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 spoon of sour cream
  • 1/2 tablespoon butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-3/4 (3 or 4) ripe bananas, pureed
  • 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon of salt
  • 1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional)
  • Recipe for brown butter glaze :
  • 1/2 c. butter
  • 4 c. powdered sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons of milk

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375F. Grease and flour a 15×10 inch jelly pan. For the bars, in a large bowl, beat together the sugar, crème fraîche, butter and eggs until creamy. Stir in the bananas and vanilla extract. Add flour, baking soda, salt and mix for 1 minute. Stir in the nuts.
  2. Spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  3. Meanwhile, for glaze, heat butter in a large saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Allow the butter to take on a delicate color and remove from the heat immediately.
  4. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth (it should be thicker than the icing but thinner than the glaze). Using a spatula, spread the brown butter icing over the hot bars (the icing will be easier to spread while the bars are still hot).
