Banana Tea Bread

This recipe was handed down to me from my Mom from her mom, so this is a family recipe. I've eaten this banana bread more than any other in my life. It's not my favorite banana bread but it is a food of my childhood and my Mom's.

Banana Tea Bread

1¾ cups flour

2 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

⅓ cup butter

⅔ cup sugar

2 eggs, well-beaten

1 cup mashed ripe banana

Preheat oven to 350°.
Cream the butter and sugar. 
Add the eggs. 
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. 
 Add the flour mixture alternately with the bananas, a small amount at a time, beating after each addition until smooth.
Pour into a well-greased and floured loaf pan (9x5x3-inches).
Bake for an hour.
