Ingredients

3 1/2 cups flour

2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 tablespoon baking soda

2 cups mashed ripe bananas

3/4 cup shortening

1 1/2 cups sugar

3 large eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk

1/3 cup milk

1/2 cup chopped nuts

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare two 8 1/2- by 4 1/2-inch loaf pans by greasing the interiors and dusting with flour.

Whisk the flour in the bag until it is light and then gently spoon it into the measuring cup. If you are using a scale, you should have about 11.6 ounces of flour. If you dip and scoop from a packed bag of flour, you could end up with 50% more flour. Add the other dry ingredients and whisk the salt and leaveners throughout the flour.

Mash and measure the bananas.

Cream the shortening with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sugar in a stream while the mixer is running. Continue beating for a total of about five minutes. The mixture should have increased in volume substantially as more and more air is entrapped. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until foamy.

Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milks, stirring after each addition. Do not over mix--over mixing will develop the gluten in the flour and make the bread tougher.

Fold in the bananas and nuts.

Pour the batter into the prepared pans. Bake for one hour or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Cool the breads in the pans for ten minutes them remove them from the pans to finish cooling on wire racks.

Store in plastic bags in the refrigerator or slice and freeze the bread for later use. This quick bread like most other quick breads is best if stored overnight before slicing and serving.
