Banana Bread

 

We are planning to visit our twin grandsons Saturday and they love Grandma's banana bread so here is the recipe.  I have baked this it for probably 40 years and don't have a clue where it came from but it is good and they like it so here we go!!

1/2 c Crisco
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c sour milk or buttermilk
1 t soda dissolved in the milk
3 small mashed ripe bananas
2 c flour
1/2 t salt
2 t. vanilla
1/2 c chopped nuts optional

Mix in the order given and bake in a buttered and floured loaf pan 1 - 1 1/2 hour at 350 degree F until a skewer or toothpick is clean when inserted into the center of the loaf.  This will keep really well if you refrigerate it.
