Banana Tea Bread

食材

1 3/4 cup sifted all purpose flour

2 tsp double-acting baking powder

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup soft shortening

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs, unbeaten

1 cup mashed ripe bananas (2-3)

vanilla extract

chopped walnuts (to your desire)

步驟

Preheat oven to 350F and grease a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Sift flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. With electric mixer at medium speed (or a spoon), thoroughly mix shortening with sugar, then with eggs, until very light and fluffy (about 4 minutes). Add in vanilla.

Then, at low speed, beat in the flour mixture alternating with bananas until smooth. Fold in the walnuts and turn into pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes and then remove.
