Banana Bread

A friend from Lincoln, NE shared this recipe with me. It was her Mother's. And she always stressed to use the ripest bananas you can-the ones that are ready to be tossed. I made this bread last week and Trevor just loved it. Now I am making another loaf to share with the neighbors.

1/2 cup shortening or margarine
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
3/4 tsp. sour milk (I use sour cream)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 3/4 cup flour
2-3 bananas (the riper the better)

Cream shortening with sugar; add eggs and other liquid + bananas that have been mashed. Add the flour and soda. Pour into greased bread pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 55 minutes.
