Banana Bread

Everyone loves banana bread and this is a great recipe for really moist and sweet banana bread.

1/2 c. shortening
1 c.  sugar
2 eggs unbeaten
1/4c buttermilk
1 2/3 c. flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 large mashed bananas ( the riper the better, you can even freeze them to turn them black)

mix bananas, shortening, sugar, eggs, milk, vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl.  Add baking powder, soda, and flour in that order to banana slurry.

dough will be sticky, just pour into pre-greased pans and bake!

I usually double this recipe and get 3 regular sized loaves

Bakes at 325 degrees for about an hour

Enjoy!
