Preparation

Step 1

1. Cream sugar, salt and butter or margarine with beater
2. Add eggs and mashed bananas to above mixture and blend well.
3. In separate bowl add baking soda plus the flour, sift and mix.
4. Add the dry ingredients to creamed mixture (sugar, salt, butter and banana mixture)
Turn into a greased loaf pan and bake for about 1 hour at 325 degrees or til brown.

Stick a toothpick into center and if it comes out clean it is done. Do not overbake and start checking with toothpick as soon as it starts looking brown which will be around an hr. I like to drizzle a little powered sugar frosting over the top while it is still warm, or just spread a little butter over the top instead. I prefer, the drizzle of frosting; however. It is wonderful bread and the best banana bread I have ever eaten. Recipe clipped out of the Omaha World Herald newspaper around 1958.
