I got this recipe my mother-in-law more than 40 years ago. They taste as good today as they did back then!—Arloia Lutz, Sebewaing, Michigan
Ingredients:
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 small bananas)
1-1/3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla and bananas. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg; add to the creamed mixture just until combined.
2. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Yield: 1 dozen.
