Here is my favorite Banana Bread recipe. It has won a lot of ribbons for me at our county fair and also the Indiana State Fair.
MOIST BANANA BREAD
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas (1 cup) mashed
5 tablespoons sour milk
1 teaspoon soda dissolved in the sour milk
2 cupsflour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped nuts(optional)
Blend sugar, shortening, and salt. Add eggs, then bananas. Add sour milk alternately with flour. Stir in nuts and vanilla. Pour into 1 large or 2 small greased and floured loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until done. Let stand 10 minutes before removing from pans. Finish cooling on wire racks. Store in air-tight container. Freezes well.
