Another recipe from the Tea Party Lady - great for afternoon tea, and a cool way to use up those old bananas.
Banana Walnut Bread
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 cup mashed banana
2 cups sifted flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup chopped walnuts
Combine shortening, sugar and eggs - beat until light and creamy. Add flour and other dry ingredients and continue beating until smooth. Stir in banana (leave slightly chunky if preferred) and walnuts. Pour mixture into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 60-70 minutes. Cool, slice and serve on a platter with honey-sweetened whipped butter on the side.
Note: you can pop those old bananas in the freezer until you're ready to use them. Browner bananas are sweeter, so don't throw them away just because they're a little brown.









Hi
Your recipe seems simple and wud love to try it. Can the eggs be replaced with more milk or water? I want to avoid using eggs. Is there a way out?

breads seem to always burn or not be cooked inside...any ideas of my problem?

I don't have alot of time to bake and I just don't have the talent either, so...I found a website that specializes in sweet breads and they are extremely reasonable in price. Their blog is neat also. Their kind of a mom & pop shop, homemade!!

I don't do a lot of baking (especially in the summer) but you keep tempting me.

Thgis one's a keeper, and I can hardly wait for that crisp fall evening when it's just the right thing to fill the house with anticipatory aromas.
Thanks!
