Banana bread

[wesleysgirl]

This is the recipe I've been using most often.

Grandma Cookhill’s Three Bowl Bread.

Banana Bread

1/3 cup softened butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 3/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
3 very ripe bananas

In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Mix in egg.

In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mash bananas. Alternately, add flour mixture and banana mixture to the butter-sugar-egg bowl. Stir until well mixed. Pour into 8 by 4 bread pan and bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

Mmm. And I've just decided I need to learn to bake.... (And bananas were on sale this week, so we will probably have overripe bananas by the weekend.)

Excellent, and perfect timing, since I had a bunch of bananas lying around that were about to give up the ghost.

I added a touch of cloves (because, let's face it, I'm a cloves addict and put them in everything), and it seems to have blended in well.
