Neysa's banana nut bread
3 loaves
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 2½ | cup | Sugar |
| 1 | cup | Crisco |
| 4 | Eggs | |
| 4 | cups | Flour |
| 1½ | teaspoon | Baking soda |
| 1 | teaspoon | Baking powder |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | cup | Buttermilk |
| 6 | Ripe bananas, mashed | |
| 1 | teaspoon | Vanilla |
| 1 | cup | Broken walnuts |
Directions
Cream crisco and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat until fluffy.
Mix salt, soda and baking powder with flour. Mash bananas and add buttermilk and vanilla.
Mix dry ingredients alternately with wet ingredients into sugar/egg/crisco mixture. Add walnuts.
Grease and flour three foil loaf pans and divide batter into them.
Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. After it has cooled to touch, put each loaf in a 1 gallon zip lock bag. This will soften the crust.
Don't zip the bag until the bread is cool.
* I put my walnuts in a gallon bag and roll them with a rolling pin.
