Joyce'S Unbeatable Banana Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 bananas (very, very ripe and I mean the blacker the better!!)

Preparation

Grease and flour one regular loaf pan or two small loaf pans.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and shortening. Cut shortening in as for pie crust (I use a pastry blender.).
In a separate bowl, beat eggs and sliced bananas until mixed well.
Add banana mixture to shortening mixture and mix well.
Place batter in prepared pan(s).
Bake approximately 30 minutes.
Tip: I usually use the toothpick test, but the toothpick should not come out completely clean. This is a very moist recipe, so look for the toothpick or knife to be mostly clean. When the bread is done, it will be a dark brown and should have a slight crack down the middle.
