Banana Bread Makes One Loaf     

1/2 Cup shortening (or combo of butter or margarine) 
1 Cup brown sugar 
 2 eggs 
 2 mashed bananas 
 1/2 cup nuts 
 2 cups sifted flour 
1 tsp. soda 
1/2 tsp. salt. 

Mom's recipe says mix all above together and bake at 300 degrees for an hour and 15 min. in a greased pan. 

 I did things a little differently with wonderful results: 

I DOUBLED the recipe, (freezing 1/2)  Then...   I used left over flours I had laying around.. So I used 2 
cups whole wheat pastry flour, and I cup regular wheat flour and 1 cup white cake flour. I also used 1 stick butter  and 1 stick margarine since I was out of shortening. 

 I used 5 regular large eggs instead of four. And I sprinkled the nuts and 1/2 cup raisons on top, thinking they would sink, but the batter was so thick they 
stayed on top. Next time I might add some brown sugar to  the nuts and raisons and leave them on top for chewy wonderfulness.
