3 Bananas, very ripe
1 c Sugar
1/2 c Shortening (butter)
2 Eggs
3 tb Yoghurt or sour cream
2 c Flour
1 ts Baking soda
1 c Walnuts, chopped
Rum, vanilla, or amaretto
-(optional)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the shortening and sugar.
Mix in the bananas. Mix in the remaining ingredients. Pour into a
greased loaf pan. Bake 1 hour 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees F.
NOTES:
* This recipe is from my friend Ayalla — It makes a heavy, but
moist, loaf of banana bread.
* If you use more than 3 normal-size bananas, I suggest that you
lower the oven temperature and cook for a while longer. Otherwise,
the crust comes out almost overcooked while the middle remains moist
and almost undercooked.
: Difficulty: easy.
: Time: Preparation: 10 minutes; baking: at least 95 minutes.
Allow some time for cooling.
: Precision: Approximate measurement OK.
