Cream together the butter or margarine and sugar, until they are well  
mixed. Add eggs and beat thoroughly until light. Add the sifted ingredients  
to the egg mixture in small amounts, adding a little of the milk each time.  
Beat well after each addition. Fold in the banana mixture. Mix well.  
Pour mixture into two greased loaf pans. Bake in a moderate oven  
(
180ºC or 250ºF) for about 1 hour. Cool and serve. Makes 2 loaves.  
Variation: Instead of baking, this bread can also be steamed using the  
following method: Start water boiling in a large pot with stones or shells in  
the bottom. Grease 2 large clean tin cans. Pour bread mixture into cans, no  
more than half full. Cover can tops with greaseproof paper or a leaf. Put the  
cans in the pot, resting on the stones or shells. Cover the pot. Steam the  
bread for a hour, or until a knife comes out dry after it is put into the bread.
