banana bread



i love how you can take yucky old spotted bananas and make something so delicious out of them. i discovered a new recipe that has sour cream as an ingredient. it turned out very moist, even though i baked it a little too long.

1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 c. mashed bananas
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. sour cream

Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, beating well after each one. Add mashed bananas and vanilla. Add the sifted dry ingredients alternately with the sour cream. Pour into greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
