(makes two 8 x 4 x 2-inch loaves)
 2 1/2 cups flour
 1 teaspoon salt
 2 teaspoons baking soda
 1 cup vegetable shortening 
 2 cups sugar
 2 cups mashed ripe banana (about 6 medium-size bananas)
 4 eggs, slightly beaten
 1 cup chopped walnuts
 Preheat the oven to 350.  Grease and flour the loaf pan.  Stir and
 toss together the flour, salt, and baking soda.  In a large bowl,
 mix the shortening, sugar, mashed banana, eggs, and walnuts.  Add
 the combined dry ingredients and stir just until the batter is
 thoroughly blended.  Pour into the prepared pan and bake for about
 65 to 70 minutes, or until a broom straw or skewer inserted in the
 center of the bread comes out clean.  Remove from the oven, and
 let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then turn out onto a rack
 to cool completely.
 Whole Wheat Banana Bread.  Substitute 2 1/4 cups whole-wheat flour
 for the 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour.
