1¼ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening
2 eggs
2 Tablespoons milk
1 cup mashed ripe bananas

Stir together flour, baking powder, soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt. Set aside.

In a mixer bowl, beat sugar and shortening with electric mixer till light, scraping sides of bowl often. Add eggs, one at a time, and the milk, beating till smooth after each addition. Add flour mixture and banana alternately to creamed mixture, beating till smooth after each addition.

Turn batter into a lightly greased 8x4x2-inch loaf pan. Bake in a 350° oven for 55 to 60 minutes or till a wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool. For easier slicing, wrap and store overnight.
