Banana Bread

'Some people' have been heard to say that my hobby is ripening bananas on the kitchen counter. If that is your hobby too, here is a good recipe for getting rid of said ripe bananas.

1/3 cup shortening ( I use butter flavor crisco)
2/3 cup white sugar
2 eggs 

1 cup mashed, ripe bananas (2)

1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

1/2 to 1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Cream shortening and sugar.  Add eggs. Add remainder of ingredients to cream mixture, alternating bananas and dry ingredients.
Place mixture into greased pan. Recipe makes 1 large loaf,  or 2 small,  or 3-4 minis.
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes, depending on size.
Recipe works well if doubled or tripled. (Depending on how talented and prolific you are at ripening bananas on the kitchen counter.)
