~ Quick and Delicious Banana Bread ~

Inspired by:  The New McCall’s Cookbook

Ingredients:

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour – sifted

2/3 cup sugar

3 tsps. baking powder

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp baking soda

1/3 cup butter

1 cup mashed very ripe banana – (2 or 3)

2 eggs

Preheat Oven 350 degrees:

Butter a loaf pan.

In a large bowl, sift flour with sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.  Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add banana and eggs; with electric mixer at low speed, beat 2 minutes.

Turn into prepared pan.

Bake 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until cake tester inserted in middle comes out clean.

This is a very old cookbook that belonged to my mother. It seems everything I make from this book turns out wonderful.

With Love,
