BANANA BREAD RECIPE-THE BEST ONE

Steps:

• Cream sugar, salt, and butter (or margarine) with a beater.
• Then add the 2 eggs and 3 mashed bananas to the above mixture and blend well.
• In a separate bowl, add baking soda plus the flour. Sift and mix.
• Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture (of sugar, salt, butter, and banana mixture). Mix all until just blended. Then add the chopped nuts.
• Pour batter into a greased loaf pan. Bake at 325 degrees for about 1 hour or until brown. You can stick a toothpick into the center and if it comes out clean, it's done. Do not overbake. Start checking with a toothpick as soon as it starts looking a little brown which will be at one hour.
• I like to drizzle a little powered sugar frosting over the top while it is still warm, or just spread a little butter over the top instead. I prefer, the drizzle of frosting; however. It is a wonderful bread and the best banana bread I have ever eaten. My grandmother clipped it out of the Omaha World Herald newspaper around 1958.
