Bananas!

I love bananas. The problem is we rarely ever eat a whole bunch of bananas. That's really not a problem though when you have an awesome banana bread recipe. You don't have one? That's o.k. I have one for you!

Banana Bread

1 egg beaten
1 cup sugar
2 (or 3 or 4 or 5) bananas, mashed up
2 tbs butter
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sour milk
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 cup flour

Preheat oven to 350*. In a small bowl mix the eggs, sugar, bananas, butter, vanilla & milk. In a medium bowl sift together the rest of the ingredients. Mix in the wet mixture. Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake for an hour to an hour and a half (start checking it at about an hour).

Tips
~ If you don't have sour milk it's easy to make. Pour a scant 1/2 cup of milk and fill the rest of the way with lemon juice or vinegar. Let sit for about 2 minutes.
~ For a moist bread with a crispy crust: place a small bowl of hot water in the oven. Remove the water halfway through the bake time.
~The more bananas you use the longer you'll have to bake the bread. The bananas add lots of moisture not to mention flavor!

Thanks for this! I have two bananas that are looking rather brown. Perfect for bread :o)
