Tresa's Banana Bread

This recipe calls for about 4 bananas, mashed.

1 cup shortening

3 cups white granulated sugar

4 eggs, beaten until fluffy

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups banana, mashed

1/2 cup of plain yogurt or sour cream

4 cups flour

nuts or 2 dashes of cinnamon: optional

In a standing mixer, beat shortening and sugar together.  While that is beating, beat until fluffy eggs for about 5-8 minutes. Then add to creamed sugar mix.  After all is well mixed, add vanilla, salt and baking soda. Then add mashed banana. Add plain yogurt or sour cream. Once all is well mixed slowly add flour one cup at a time.

Bake at 325 degrees in 2 or 3 greased and floured pans. (I use 3)  Cook for about 40-60 mins.  Check it at the 40 mins mark and if it needs more time bake for 5 min intervals until done.  Done is when a tooth pick can poke the middle almost all the way down and it comes out clean.
