• 1 ¾ c. sifted flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1/3 c. shortening
• 2/3 c. sugar
• 2 eggs well beaten
• 1 c. mashed ripe bananas (2-3)

(I use 1 tsp almond flavoring too, mix with eggs)

Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Beat shortening until creamy in mixing bowl. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with bananas, a small amount at a time, beating after each addition until smooth. Turn into a well-greased bread pan and bake in a moderate oven (350) for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until done. 1 loaf
