Banana Bread
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
5 over-ripe bananas
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 tablespoons wheat germ
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 loaf pans. Cream together
the shortening and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer or a food
processor. Add the eggs and bananas and blend until the bananas
are thoroughly mashed.
Sift the flour, salt, and baking soda into a separate bowl and
stir in the wheat germ. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture
and blend until just mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf
pans, dividing it evenly.
Bake for 50 minutes. The bread is done when the top springs back
after being pressed in the center with fingertips.
