Grandma Nicoll’s Banana Bread

Nothing like Grandma's bread.  This bread is so moist and yummy.  It's cake like.  

Yields: 2-3 loaves

2 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cup shortening

6 ripe bananas, mashed

4 eggs, well-beaten

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking soda

3/4 cup chopped walnuts, optional

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray with cooking spray two 8x4 inch loaf pans.

Cream sugar and shortening for about 2 minutes.  Add bananas and eggs.

In another bowl, mix remaining dry ingredients together.  Add to banana mixture.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until done.
