Mkay.
Buy bananas and leave them set in the kitchen for a few days until they start getting over ripe,then put them in a zip lock bag and stick them in the freezer for a while…weeks or even months.
When you’re ready to make the bread get 4 of the nanners out and let them defrost then peel them. (Don’t include the chilluns in this part because they look like gross, slimy poops.) Mash the hell out of them.
Now we go with ½ cup Crisco.
Mix 1 cup of sugar in the Crisco.
2 cups of flour.
1 tsp baking soda (mix with flour.)
¾ths a cap of vanilla.
Mix all that up,.
Now mix in the mashed bananas.
Then fold in 2 eggs that have been lightly beaten, like the way you’d beat a kid you like.
Pour into a greased casserole dish.
Bake at 300 for 1 hrs 15 min. Knife inserted comes out clean.
This came froma recipe book my church put out in 1987. The gal who donated this recipe says “This was given to me by a neighbor’s mother when we were stationed at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma about 1947 or 1948…..bananas, when used in cooking should always be fully ripe. They impart far more flavor and sweetness (and moisture.) In fact, those that you think are past saving are just right for cooking.”
Good stuff Maynard.. Have fun.
