Banana Bread (thing)

Banana bread makes a delightful fall dish, and can be served as a loaf, as cut-up slices, or even as muffins. It is a very versatile favorite that most enjoy, and though additions like nuts or raisins are appropriate, it is this noder's opinion that this recipe is best as is.

Ingredients:

• 1 ¼ cups sugar
  
• ½ cup (1 stick) margarine or butter, softened
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 1 ¾ cup mashed ripe bananas (4-5 medium bananas)
  
• ½ cup milk
  
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  
• 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  
• 2 ½ cups flour
  
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease 2 loaf pans. In large bowl, cream the sugar and butter. Add in the eggs. Add bananas, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla, beat until smooth. In small bowl, mix flour, baking soda, and salt. Keep adding flour mix to banana mix. Pour into pans. Bake for 1 hour. Cool for 5 minutes.

Yield: 2 loaves
