PRIZE-WINNING BANANA NUT BREAD

This bread is a former winner at the Lawrence County Fair. That is the county where I grew up in Indiana.

1/2 cup butter, room temperature

2 eggs

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup nuts (I prefer pecans or walnuts)

3 ripe bananas

2 cups flour

Crush bananas and whip until very light and creamy.  Cream butter. Add sugar and eggs. Add flour, soda, and nuts. Add bananas and mix well. Turn into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
