Kauai Inn Banana Bread
2 C sugar
1 C shortening
6 mashed ripe* bananas
4 eggs
2½ C flour
2 t baking soda
½ t vanilla**
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Cream shortening and sugar. Add bananas and eggs, and beat well. Beat in vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and soda until evenly blended. Then dump them into the wet mixture, and blend in gently with a spatula. As with most quick breads, you don't want to spend one moment longer than necessary on this, because you don't want to wear out the soda. Just be sure you don't have any unmoistened lumps of dry ingredient.
4. Pour into 2 greased and lined loaf pans and bake 35-40 minutes.
Optional additions: pecans, walnuts, chocolate chips (the tiny ones are particularly nice)
