Banana Bread
2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening (such as butter flavored Crisco)
6 ripe bananas, mashed
4 well beaten eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
1 3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Cream sugar and shortening. Add bananas and eggs, and mix well. Combine dry ingredients and add along with nuts. Do not overmix.
Pour into greased loaf pans, (I use 4 minipans) and bake at 350º until done, from 45 minutes to one hour, depending on size of pans. Test with toothpick.
