How To Make grandmas buttermilk banana bread
-
Step 1Preheat oven at 350 degrees prepare 8 bread pans, grease and flour. Do not use spray. If you add nuts you may be able to squeeze out another loaf! You can also make up a bunch of mini loaves.
-
Step 2In a large mixing bowl add your shortening and sugar, mix well. Add your eggs, blend well.
-
Step 3Add your bananas, blend well.
-
Step 4In another mixing bowl add your flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Whisk that to blend evenly.
-
Step 5Gradually alternate your flour mixture and buttermilk to the wet ingredients beginning and ending with the flour.
-
Step 6After everything is mixed, fill your prepared pans about 1/2 full.
-
Step 7Bake 4 loaves at a time for about 45 to 50 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean. DO NOT OVER BAKE, just when the bread is baked and looks a tad wet just at the top I take them out.
-
Step 8Remove them right away from your pans. I flip them on their sides then after 5 minutes flip them on their other side.
-
Step 9I couldn't resist and cut one while it was still hot and put a little butter on it! All gone!
