Banana Bread

 

 

1 ¾ cup flour

2 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

½ cup chopped nuts

 

Mix:

1/3 cup shortening

2/3 cup brown sugar

 

Add:  2 eggs

1 cup mashed bananas (2 or 3)

 

Grease and flour a loaf pan.  Bake 1 hour at 350.

 

NOTES:  comes out a lot better if you put it into two or three smaller loaf  pans and cook for less time.  It benefits from the addition of liquid, like a few tablespoons of milk.

 

As usual, use a variety of flours and nuts.
