Banana Bread

A family recipe passed down. In truth, we are not sure if this is my Mom’s recipe, or her best friend Dotty’s. No matter, it’s all in the family either way— and a great way to pay tribute to two incredible women!

1 1/4 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup flour

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 cup butter

2 eggs

4 tbsp. sour cream

1 cup mashed banana (about 2 medium bananas, the riper the better!)

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter a 9 x 5 loaf pan.

Whisk the flour and salt together and set aside.

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Mix baking soda into the sour cream and add to the wet ingredients. Beat well.

Add bananas, flour and salt, and then vanilla and mix well. Add nuts, and spoon batter into the prepared loaf pan.

Bake for approximately 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool until you are able to remove from the pan by separating with a knife all around and turning it over on a plate.
