Family Recipe: Nancy’s Banana Bread

A friend recently gave us banana bread which the girls absolutely loved.  After finishing that loaf I dug out our family recipe to make another loaf.  Grandma Willa shared Nancy’s Banana Bread recipe with us many years ago.  This delicious banana bread is always a super special treat around our house.  It is a wonderful recipe to pull out for a breakfast treat when you have guests staying with you or your hosting a get together for a group of friends.  I love that it is easy to put together too.

Nancy’s Banana Bread:

• 2 cups Flour
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1/4 cup Walnuts (optional)
• 3 Bananas, mashed

Mix all the ingredients together.  Place in greased and floured bread pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
