Start mixing in the flour mixture a quarter of a cup at a time. After the second quarter add the buttermilk or soured milk and the vanilla.

Notes: This freezes well and stays moist. You can leave out the raisins without changing anything else and you'll still be ok. This is a very, very old recipe and I think it's the best banana bread around.
