Nita's Banana Bread, The World's Best Banana Bread

Here, as promised, is the banana bread recipe.  I've had it since my neighbor Nita gave it to me when I was still a bride


Nita’s Banana Bread

1 cup sugar
½ cup (1 stick) butter, softened
pinch salt
2 eggs, beaten
3 ripe mashed bananas
3 Tablespoons sour milk, buttermilk or sour cream
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups white flour

Cream butter, add sugar, mix well and add bananas.  Mix salt, flour and baking soda and add to banana mixture alternating with sour milk.  Mix together lightly.  Pour into a 9 x 5  inch greased loaf pan.  (Non stick is great!)
Bake in slowish (325 degrees Farenheit) for 45-60 minutes, until tested inserted in middle comes out clean.   Cool on rack and remove bread from pan.  Eat and enjoy.
A handful of blueberries or raisins may be added after dry ingredients.

I went to Shaw's, found over-ripe bananas really cheap and made two loaves of bread. Froze one plus two extra bananas. Used yogurt instead of sour milk. Bread rocked. This is indeed the world's best recipe.
