Sour Cream Banana Bread

Bread in Picture was made by my Mom!

1/2 c. crisco

1 c. sugar

2 eggs

3 ripe bananas mashed

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/2 c. sour cream

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp soda

1/4 tsp salt

2 c. flour

1 c chopped nuts (I prefer walnuts for this recipe)

1/4 c sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

  Cream Crisco and sugar.  Beat in eggs, bananas and vanilla.  Add sour cream.  Gradually add dry ingredients.  Mix nuts, sugar and cinnamon and set aside.  Grease bundt pan or loaf pans.  Spread 1/2 nut mixture on the bottom of pan.  Add 1/2 of the batter.  Add remaining nut mixture and then the rest of the batter.  Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.  Cool 5 minutes and remove from pan.

Makes 1 bundt pan, or 2 loaves, or about 5 small loaf pans.

**This is my Mom's Recipe.  This bread is moist and tender.  Mom always makes it for Christmas.  I Love the cinnamon/sugar/nut mixture on the bottom.
