Banana Bread
(one of my favorites -- has almond meal instead of chopped nuts)
(Almond meal replaces part of the flour.)

1/2 c sugar
1/6 c shortening (2 T + 2 t)
1 egg
1 c mashed banana (about 2 bananas)
1 c flour
1/2 c almond meal
1 t soda
1/4 t salt
1/4 c milk

Grease loaf pan. Preheat over to 350F.
Combine flour, almond meal, soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream sugar and shortening. Add egg and beat. Add banana and beat.
Add half of flour mixture. Beat. Add milk. Beat. Add rest of flour mixture. Add more milk if necessary.
Pour into loaf pan and bake 55 - 65 minutes at 350F. (makes 1 loaf)
