BANANA BREAD

By ldelmas

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup shortening (I generally use Crisco)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-1/3 cups packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• 1 cup mashed bananas
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts
• 1/4 cup sour milk (To make sour milk, add 1 Tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice per one cup of milk)

Preparation

Step 1

Cream together the shortening, vanilla and sugar. Add eggs and beat completely. Stir in the dry ingredients, then the sour milk and the mashed bananas. Mix until smooth. Stir in nuts.

Pour into two greased bread pans and bake at 350 degrees for 50 - 60 minutes.

I added one cup of chocolate chip morsels to this batch along with the nuts. Yum!!
