1/4 ts Baking Soda
1/2 ts Salt
1/3 c Shortening
2/3 c Sugar
2 Eggs -- well beaten
1 1/2 c 2 To 3 Bananas -- mashed

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda
and salt. With the electric beater on low, fluff the
shortening in a small bowl, until soft and creamy.
Add the sugar gradually. Beat in the eggs in a slow
stream. With a fork, beat in 1/3 of the flour mixture,
1/2 the bananas another 1/3 of the flour mixture, the
rest of the bananas then the last of the flour
mixture. Fold in the walnuts. Turn into a greased
