Banana Bread

By S PDX

My mom's recipe (not sure where she got it). I think the secret ingredient is the buttermilk.

Ingredients

• 1 cup Crisco
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 cup (3 - 4) mashed bananas
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Grease and flour two loaf pans. Preheat oven to 350. Mix Crisco and sugar. Add eggs, bananas. Mix dry ingredients and add to banana mixture. Stir well, then add buttermilk. Pour into loaf pans and bake for 50 minutes to an hour at 350.

Cool for 10 minutes in pan. Remove from pans and cool completely before wrapping. Freezes well.
