This is the tastier of the two in the book, IMO.

Banana Bread, (James) Beard on Bread Cookbook
makes 1 loaf


2 c. sifted flour, all purpose
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c. mashed very ripe bananas (about 2)
1/2 c. milk
1 tsp. lemon juice or vinegar
1/2 c. chopped nuts

Sift flour with baking soda and salt.

Cream the butter and add the sugar; mix well.
Add eggs and bananas and mix thoroughly.
Combine milk and lemon juice (will curdle a bit; it's OK.)
Slowly alternate folding the flour and milk to the butter
mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.
Blend well after each addition. Stir in nuts.

Pour the batter into a "lavishly buttered" 9 inch loaf pan
and bake in a preheated 350deg. oven 1 hour or until the bread
springs back when lightly touched in the center.

Cool a few minutes on a rack, then remove from pan and cool
thoroughly before wrapping in foil or plastic wrap for storage.

This is the same recipe I've used for years. Perfect banana bread
every time. I've been known to buy bananas just to let them get ripe
enough to use for his banana bread!

Oh, man... now I'm in a big quandary over which recipe to try first -
James Beard or Wayne's friend.
