Banana Bread

From the Kitchen of Cheryl Qualls

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 cup ripe bananas, mashed
• 2 eggs, beaten

Directions

• Mix all dry ingredients.
• Cut in shortening.
• Mix wet ingredients together in separate bowl.
• Combine wet and dry ingredients all at once, stir just till blended.
• Pour into greased and floured 9x5 bread pan.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
• Recipe can be doubled (my husband prefers this option.)

Homemaking Tip

• Freezes well after bread is completely cooled. Wrap it once in waxed paper or plastic wrap, and again with aluminum foil. Will keep in freezer for 3 months (but only if husband is out of town.)
