BANANA BREAD

Ingredients

½ cup shortening 1 cup granulated sugar ½ teaspoon salt 2 large eggs 2 large ripe bananas, mashed 1 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in ¼ cup hot water 2 cups all-purpose flour ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instruction Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5- inch loaf pan. Cream Shortening and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add Eggs and Bananas: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas until well combined. Add Baking Soda and Flour: Dissolve the baking soda in 1/4 cup hot water, then add it to the banana mixture. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Fold in Walnuts: Gently fold in the chopped walnuts if using. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool and Serve: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
