1 1/2 cups flour

Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter 9" bread pan very well.

Sift flour, baking soda and salt together. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in mixer and beat until very well mixed.
Pour batter into 9 inch bread pan and place on the center rack of the oven. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes. Banana bread is done when a toothpick comes out clean.
