Banana Bread

Banana bread has long been a favorite of mine - right up until I developed an allergy to bananas. However, the rest of the family loves it. Banana bread is usually pretty easy to make. This is one of the easiest recipes I have.

Ingredients:

½ cup butter or margarine

1 cup sugar

2 eggs

2 large or 3 small ripe or overripe

bananas, mashed

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup sour milk or sour cream

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375o. 
2. Beat butter, sugar and eggs in a large bowl with mixer 3 min or until light and fluffy; stir in bananas.  
3. Sift flour, soda and salt onto wax paper.  
4. Add flour mixture gradually to butter mixture; stir until well mixed.  
5. Add sour milk/cream and stir until smooth.  
6. Pour batter into a well greased loaf pan.  
7. Bake for 1 hour  or until center springs back when lightly pressed with fingertip.  
8. Cool 10 min in pan on wire rack.  Remove from pan; cool.
