PECAN BANANA BREAD FRENCH TOAST This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Campbell Estate in Terrell, Texas in 1991. Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour sifted |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup unsalted butter at room temperature |
1 cup granulated sugar |
2 eggs |
1 cup ripe bananas mashed |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice |
1/3 cup milk |
1/2 cup pecans, chopped |
4 large eggs |
1/4 cup whipping cream |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
3 tablespoons butter |

1. Preheat oven to 350 then generously butter a loaf pan.
2. Sift first 3 ingredients into a small bowl.

5. Mix in dry ingredients alternately with milk beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
6. Mix in pecans then pour batter into prepared pan.
