Banana Bread
2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup sugar
6 Tbsp butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 large ripe bananas)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease and flour a 9x5" metal loaf pan. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, with mixer at low speed, beat sugar, butter, and eggs just until blended. Increase speed to high, beat about 5 mins, until light and creamy. Reduce speed to low. Add mashed bananas and 1/4 cup water, beat until well mixed. Slowly add flour mixture to banana mixture; beat just until blended, occasionally scraping bowl with rubber spatula. Stir in nuts. Spoon batter into loaf pan.
Bake 50 to 55 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center of bread comes out clean. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan and cool completely on rack.
