Banana Bread


Let me start off by saying that I hate bananas. HATE them. They are gross and mushy. I love my husband but if he just ate a banana, there is no way I am kissing him (he finds this very amusing). I like banana chips and banana flavored candies but not just a plain banana or one in a smoothie. I know that doesn't make sense but that's the way it is and I'm pretty pleased with the situation. However, I absolutely LOVE banana bread. It is so good! I love it for breakfast on the way to school, a day-time snack, and especially a bed-time snack.

I have made this so often that I have became quite proficient at it. It is my Grandma Walton's recipe and is absolutely the best banana bread I have ever made or eaten.

Ingredients:
1 heaping cup of sugar
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs
4 very ripe bananas, smashed
1 c. sour milk (mix in 2 Tbsp. of vinegar to make it sour)
1 c. nuts (optional)
3 c. flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

Directions:
  1. Beat together sugar, butter, eggs, and bananas with a mixer.
  2. Add sour milk and mix well.
  3. Add dry ingredients and mix with a large wooden spoon.
  4. Pour mixture into 2 greased and floured bread pans.
  5. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the top springs back and it's golden brown.
That's all there is to it and it is incredible. Enjoy!
