I love this banana bread. It is an old family recipe that I decided to share! Oftentimes I will use butter instead of shortening, but for the sake of keeping nana's recipe, I will list it as she makes it :) Ingredients:
1/3 cup shortening |
2/3-3/4 cup sugar |
2 whole eggs, slightly beaten |
1 3/4 cups sifted flour |
2 3/4 teaspoons baking powder |
2 -3 medium ripe bananas, mashed |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Beat shortening until creamy, on medium speed; approximately 2 minutes.
3. Add sugar, and beat until fluffy.
4. Add eggs and beat until thick and lemon in color.
5. Add dry ingredients slowly, and mix thoroughly.
6. Add bananas and mix until completely mixed through the batter.
7. Grease bottom of a loaf pan.
8. Only the bottom- not the sides.
9. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until knife comes clean.
10. Cooking times may vary greatly from oven to oven.
11. Enjoy!
