1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup shortening
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
2 large, ripe bananas
3 cups flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup nuts

Cream sugar and shortening until fluffy.  Add well-beaten eggs and mashed bananas, and mix thoroughly.  Sift dry ingredients and add to sugar mixture, alternately with the buttermilk.  Flour chopped nuts and add to batter.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes in small loaf pans (this helps the bread to be moist.)
