1-1/2 tsp. vinegar
1/2 c. milk
3 c. brown sugar
1 c. Crisco
3 eggs
4 c. flour
2 heaping tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 c. bananas, mashed
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. nuts

Combine the vinegar (I use wine vinegar for taste) and the milk to make it sour. Cream the brown sugar, Crisco and eggs, one at a time. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, nuts, bananas and vanilla. Mix together well.

Bake 35-40 minutes at 350°F in a greased and floured 11x17 in large pan.

Make wedding icing but omit vanilla. Instead add maple flavoring (2 or 3 tbsp. depending on how light or dark you want it).

Wedding Icing:

1 c. milk
6 heaping tbsp. flour
1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. Crisco
1/2 c. sugar
2 tbsp. maple flavoring

In a sauce pan, combine milk and flour. Beat and get all the lumps out. Keep stirring, put on stove and heat until it thickens. Let cool. In a bowl, add butter, Crisco, sugar and maple flavoring. Cream together and add flour mixture. Beat well.
