Bear's Log

My mom used to make this all the time, but she never used a recipe that I knew of. So when I got the urge the other day to make some (nothing like the site of over ripe bananas to bring that urge up,) I first had to try and remember what she did and then look up in my copy of Fanny May a recipe to make sure I got the proportions right.

I’ll find out in about 55 minutes :)

• 3 or 4 ripe bananas
• 1/3 cup melted butter
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C)
2. Mash bananas and then add the butter into a large mixing bowl
3. Mix in the sugar, beaten egg, and vanilla
4. Add baking soda and salt and mix in
5. Add the flour
6. Pour into a buttered 4x8 inch loaf pan
7. Bake for 1 hour.
