BANANA BREAD

Banana Bread
Makes 2 Loaves

Ingredients:
5 or 6 very ripe Bananas
4 cups Brown Sugar
1/2 tsp. Salt
3 1/2 cups All-purpose Flour, Sifted
8 large Eggs
1 cup Vegetable Oil
2 1/2 cups Buttermilk
2 Tbs. Baking Soda
1/4 cup chopped walnuts can also be used

Pre-heat oven to 275-F degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, blend bananas, sugar, and salt until creamy in texture.
Gradually blend in flour and eggs, alternating between ingredients as you blend with an electric mixer.

In a small bowl, combine the oil and buttermilk with the baking soda.
When thoroughly mixed, add to the banana-and-flour mixture and continue to blend.

Pour the dough into two, well-oiled 9-inch by 5-inch by 13-inch loaf pans.
Make sure to fill the pans only about half full.
Slowly bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until a knife inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean.
Cool for about 30 minutes on a wire rack, then invert to continue cooling.

Store in an airtight container.
Slice to serve.
