Lorell's Banana Bread - The Best - Even I like it

My family loves banana bread which means there have been many loaves of banana bread made in my house.  I am not really a fan of anything with bananas in it -except for this recipe.  Give it a try- this is by far one of the best and I have made a lot of banana bread.

Start with ripe bananas and real butter - makes a difference.  The recipe calls for 2 cups of flour and this time I used 1 cup regular flour and 1 cup gluten free flour.  No one could tell any difference - next time will use all gluten free flour. 

Lorell's Banana Bread:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
4  ripe bananas
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
pinch salt
1/2 cups walnuts (optional)

Cream shortening.  Add sugar, eggs, bananas.  Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Bake at 300 for 1 hour 15 minutes.  Makes 1 loaf.
