Banana Bread

I made my first home made banana bread last night.... It came out a little brown on the edges, and not nearly as good as my moms, but it's still oh so good. I love a slice after dinner with butter on top... Reminds me of family dinners with the whole family. Sooooo yummy. Here's the recipe:

2-3 very ripe bananas
2/3 cup Sugar
1/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup nuts

Mix dry ingredients.
In a seperate bowl, cream shortening and sugar, add eggs. Mix in with mashed bananas.
Add wet ingredients to dry, mix by hand just until moistened.

Bake in (greased and floured) bread pan for 55 min (30 for dark pans). Makes 1 loaf.
