Recipe for Banana Nut Bread

Banana Nut Bread

As a banana ripens, the starch in the fruit turns to sugar. The riper the banana the sweeter it will taste.

Ingredients

.....1 cup butter or margarine
.....2 cups sugar
.....4 eggs
.....1/4 teaspoon salt
.....2 teaspoons soda
.....4 cups flour
.....6 large ripe bananas, mashed
.....1 cup finely chopped walnuts

Preparation

Cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Sift dry ingredients together; add to creamed mixture. Stir in bananas and chopped walnuts.

Pour batter into 2 well-greased loaf pans; bake at 325° for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
