This Banana Shortcake makes a satisfying, whole breakfast -
it's not a dessert shortcake. Because the Banana Bread is made in advance -
and probably frozen ~ the shortcake is quick and easy to put together. I (Marjorie Hurt Jones) sometimes serve it for "normal eating" house guests who devour every last crumb!
Directions:
Mash banana with a fork; whip until light and frothy. If you enjoy a little tang, add the lemon juice or the pinch of the vit C. Toast the bread lightly either in a toasster oven or in a dry frypan -
homemade quickbreads don't do well in a traditional pop-up toasster.
To assemble: Lay toasted bread on a plate; top with a dollop of masshed banana.
Note: If your Banana Bread is frozen be sure to take it out the evening before you want it for breakfast. Use a serrated bread knife for slicing.
