Grand-mère's Banana Bread Recipe

[Indaswamp]

As some of you know, my grandmother was cajun french. this is her recipe...

Banana Bread
1 cup Sugar
1 stick real unsalted butter

3-4 Bananas (dark yellow, with brown spots...starting to turn. Browner the better!)
1 egg
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. real vanilla

1 1/4 ~ 1 3/4 cups flour (use more for cake like bread, less for moist bread)
1/8 tsp. salt

1/2~1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
preheat oven to 325*
cut butter into sugar with a dough cutter. cut bananas in, then add egg, baking soda and vanilla, stir in well. sift flour with salt, add pecans and fold in lightly. In a buttered and floured bread loaf pan, pour in batter and bake 325~350 approx. 1 hour.

Had some awesome BB French toast in Costa Rica...think the syrup was a mix of natural syrup with water and powdered sugar...kind of like mixing syrup with cinnamon roll frosting.

Will have to try this one.

Swamp I called my mom to see if she had my aunts recipe and she didn't, but, I went over your GMs recipe and she said from what she can remember making it years ago with my aunt, it was pretty close to the same. The difference was , the black Bananas, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder in addition to the 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons. real vanilla, 1/3 cup milk
