    Recipe Introduction


    From: Fanny Farmer Baking Book - Marion Cunningham

    List of Ingredients




    This makes a dark, dense, sweet banana bread. This is just the best.

    2 1/2 C flour
    1 t salt
    2 t baking soda
    1 C shortening
    2 C sugar
    4 eggs slightly beaten
    2 C mashed ripe bananas (about 6 medium-size bananas)
    optional: 1 C chopped walnuts

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour loaf pan (or I use a bundt pan).

    Stir and toss together the flour, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, mix the shortening, sugar, mashed bananas, eggs, and walnuts. Add the combined dry ingredients and stir just until the batter in throughly blended.

    (I use a mixer to blend the ingredients because I find the ingredients don't blend well by hand. About 1-2 minutes medium by electric mixer)

    Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about 65-70 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then turn out in a rack to cool completely.


    Notes:

    Try this with fudge or chocolate frosting - it is to just too good for words. I use this as a cake recipe as well.

    I've also added chocolate chips ( 1/2 - 1 C) but its almost too much.
