This recipe comes from a cookbook I received as a gift perhaps 40 years ago. It is called DELTA GAMMA COOKBOOK FOR THE BLIND. The pages are thermoform and the covers have disappeared, but the recipes are good and I use this one all the time. My grandkids love this recipe!
½ cup shortening (I use 1 stick of regular butter) 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (I use one or two for each batch depending on the size of the banana) 1 tsp lemon juice 2 cups flour (I use all purpose) 3 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1 tsp chopped nuts And I dont think there would be any reason that you could not put chocolate chips on top or in the batter, but I think if you put them on top, they would melt into the bread and would probably be very good! When I make this recipe, I beat the eggs first and then add the butter and sugar. Add bananas and lemon juice. Add dry ingredients. Finally, add the nuts. I use a stand mixer but am sure you could use an electric hand mixer so everything blends well. Pour into greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour 5 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. This makes a one pound loaf. If I have three or four ripe bananas, I make two loaves by just doubling all of the ingredients. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
