1 cup sugar
1/3 cup Crisco oil
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sourdough batter
2 cups flour, all-purpose, unsifted
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
3 ripe bananas, crushed
3/4 cup chopped nuts (home-grown walnuts taste best)
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix sugar and Crisco oil together. Beat in eggs. Fold in sourdough starter. Add the rest of the ingredients. Bake in a large loaf pan in center of oven, preheated at 375 degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes or until done. Be sure to grease and flour the loaf pan before adding the batter. Bread is done when inserting a toothpick and it comes out clean. Turn out on wire rack to cool. Sourdough makes this a nice, moist banana bread and guests will be pleasantly surprised with the touch of gourmet flavoring.
