Grandma's Vintage Recipes

This blog is for the posting of Vintage Recipes. I have inherited recipes from both my grandmothers, mother, aunts, etc over the years. I am also a cookbook collector with several old cookbooks in my possession. My goal here is to share with you older recipes that have been lost to many. I hope you will enjoy my blogs and some old memories will be revived by some of the recipes. Note:To save the vintage value of these recipes, I make no changes. You see the original recipe as written.

(DELLA'S) BANANA NUT BREAD

This is another recipe from my 1955 Marshall Township PTA Cookbook. This recipe was submitted by Mrs. Della Piper.

2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. soda
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup chopped nuts
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup salad oil
1 cup mashed bananas

Sift together the dry ingredients. Add 3/4 cup nuts. Combine remaining ingredients and add to dry ingredients. Stir only until the flour is moistened. Pour into a greased 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining nuts over the top of the loaf. Bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour.

Everyone should have a good banana gread recipe in their recipe file. Looks like Della found one! I am a bit surprised at the oil in the recipe for the era though.

Thanks for sharing, Linda...; June 12, 2014 at 8:09 PM
