I was so excited (and amazed) when I first started because it looked like another baker lived not too far from me but I think she must have dropped out. Its exciting to hear about a new book in the works -- now we won't run out of things to bake.jkcurtishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10339722168174228116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-66077006139837478512010-10-19T16:24:31.090-07:002010-10-19T16:24:31.090-07:00Mendy,

I'm thinking that my little trick of mixing lemon juice with bananas to keep them from becoming brown continues to work, even during baking. If I had to guess, I'd say, the acidity of that little bit of lemon juice increased the pH of my batter which must have reacted with the leavening too. <br /><br />Maybe Rose can help us understand how the pH value of a batter affects the baked product.<br /><br />Having said that, I'm keeping my little "lemon juice" trick :o)Hanaâhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660317268731033542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8882070718279731833.post-52935606527599962902010-10-18T12:16:53.676-07:002010-10-18T12:16:53.676-07:00@Jini: it was very nice to meet you too!
