Tuesday Recipe Club:
Now let’s see… what haven’t I run? My grandma’s Banana Bread recipe. (Extra-good with chocolate chips.) (What isn’t?)
Granny’s Banana Bread
1/4 cup shortening or butter
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 med. mashed bananas (or substitute shredded zucchini for zucchini bread — one cup or so?)
2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup buttermilk or milk
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 tsp. vanilla
Cream shortening or butter. Mix well. Add eggs and bananas and mix well. Add salt, baking powder, soda and cinnamon to flour. Mix. Add to creamed butter, sugar and bananas. Mix. Add milk, vanilla, nuts and mix (but don’t overmix). Pour into two loaf pans, and bake at 360 degrees for about 45 minutes. Test with toothpick in middle.
Bon Appetit!
