Banana Nut Bread

3 very ripe bananas

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup shortening (butter)

2 eggs

3 Tbsp yogurt or sour cream

2 cups flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup chopped walnuts

Rum, vanilla, or amaretto (these flavorings are optional) (1) Preheat the oven to 350. Cream shortening and sugar.
(2) Mix in the bananas.
(3) Mix in the remaining ingredients.
(4) Pour into a greased loaf
(5) Bake 1 hour 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

NOTES: If you use more than 3 normal-size bananas, lower the oven temperature and cook for a while longer. Otherwise, the crust comes out almost overcooked while the middle remains moist and almost undercooked.
