It was really good without being as sweet as many recipes. I don't know how well it would work with self rising flour, however.

I need to compare measurements for bananas. The bananas were perfectly aged and I probably didn't make my situation better by adding half of another banana. But the recipe was not in cups. It said, three bananas.

and as such, they sometimes seem out-of-step with American shopping habits, as in the lack of self-rising flour I mentioned (no sugar-free ice cream is another). The problems are minor, however, and it’s our go-to store for most of our pantry staples.
