My Famous Banana Bread.  This is one of the best recipes, so moist and sooooooooo good.  (I think it's the secret ingredient of sour cream.)

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 c. sifted flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. sale
  • 1/2 c. butter
  • 1 c. sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • grated rind of half a lemon
  • 3/4 c. mashed ripe bananas
  • 2 tbls. sour cream
  • 1/2 c chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

  • Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Set aside.  Work butter until soft, then work in sugar a little at a time until smooth.  Beat in eggs one at a time, and add the vanilla, grated lemon rind, and bananas.  Stir in the flour mixture alternately with sour cream. Pour into a greased loaf pan & bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 1 hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean.  Remove from pan & cool on a rack.  I love mine glazed with a mixture of conf. sugar and a little milk.

Notes

Freezes well.  Just wrap it in foil and then put in a zip-lock bag and store in the freezer.
