I've been making this super moist bread for 14 years. My son used to enjoy this spread with peanut butter almost every day of his toddler years! Beating the egg whites separately and baking at a lower temperature give this bread a spongy texture that's light as a feather. Ingredients:
2 -3 bananas (depending on size) |
1/2 cup shortening |
1 cup sugar |
3 eggs, separated |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
2 tablespoons hot water |
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon banana extract (flavoring) (optional) |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Mash bananas (I like to puree mine).
2. Cream shortening, sugar and egg yolks and add to bananas.
3. Add soda dissolved in hot water.
4. Add nuts, vanilla and banana extracts.
5. Sift flour and salt together and add to mixture.
6. Fold in beaten egg whites(stiff).
7. Put in greased 9 x 5 loaf pan.
8. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 to 55 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
9. Makes one large loaf.
