Verona’s Banana Bread

DSC_5002

Ahhhhh.…ripe bananas…..the best for making banana bread….

This is an old family recipe handed down from a dear friend from Bermuda.

♥ Thanks Verona!! You taught us well. ♥

In a medium mixing bowl, sift flour, salt, nutmeg and baking powder. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add sugar and butter and cream until smooth.
Blend in the egg.

Gradually add the flour mixture, stirring well. Using a large fork, add bananas mashing until mixture is creamy.

Pour batter into a lightly greased loaf pan and bake at 375º for 45 minutes (or until done–pierce with a knife and if it comes out clean, it’s ready!). I always check the bread at the 30 minute mark if for nothing else than letting the aroma fill the kitchen…
