Banana Bread

Recipe By: Barb Schaller, posted to r.f.cooking 7-1-2007
Serving Size: 1
Preparation Time: 0:00
Categories: Quick Breads

Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method
1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
3 small or 2 large overripe (just this side of
fruit flies!) bananas
2 eggs
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)

In food processor bowl, process butter, sugar, sour cream, bananas, and
eggs until well mixed (maybe a minute? 15 seconds?), stopping once or
so to scrape down mixture from side of workbowl. Dump flour, soda, and
nuts, if using, on top and pulse-process 5-8 times to incorporate into
mixture. Pour into a 9x5x3² greased loaf pan and bake till done (about
50-60 minutes) at 350 degrees, or use two smaller loaf pans, about
5x7x2-1/2² and bake 45-55 minutes. Toothpick inserted into center of
loaf should come out clean (or almost). Cool in pan(s) 10 minutes then
remove from pan(s) and finish cooling on cooling rack.
