The first recipe I ever received from someone... a Kings Island co-worker and fellow Ohio State student.

ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup butter, slightly softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 bananas
  • (1/2 cup nut meats)

directions

  • 1

    Prepare a 350 degree oven. Sift the flour with the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Cream the butter and gradually add the sugar, creaming all the while. Add eggs, one at a time, beating each in thoroughly. Mash the bananas and stir into the wet ingredients. Turn into well greased loaf ban.

  • 2

    Add the dry ingredients. When mixed well, add the nut meats, if desired.

  • 3

    Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes, until it comes out dry. Remove from oven and let stand a few minutes before removing from pan. Cool.

notes

Thanks, Ellen! Still tastes as good as it did in 1973!
