Banana Bread

What do you do with those overly ripe bananas? If you have a couple of bananas that are showing up with dark spots and are softening so that no one wants to eat them, do you just throw them out? No. You bake some banana bread. Here's how you do it.

Bananas

Sifted all-purpose flour, 1-3/4 cups

Baking powder, 2 teaspoons

Soda, 1/4 teaspoon,

Salt, 1/2 teaspoon

Water, 1 cup and 2 tablespoons

Shortening, 1/3 cup

Sugar, 2/3 cup

Eggs, 2 ea

Instruction
