Grandma Stewart's Banana Nut Bread

In the process of cleaning out my e-mail, I decided to put this on here so I don't loose it. I print this recipe probably everytime I cook it since mine gets hammered as I make this yummy bread.

Banana Nut Bread
1 C Shortening or Margarine
2 C Sugar
4 Eggs, well beaten
6 Bananas, mashed to a pulp
4 C Flour
2 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
6 Tbsp Milk (more if bananas are small)
1 Tbsp Vanilla
1 C nuts, chopped (I use walnuts)

Cream shortening and sugar together. Add eggs, bananas and vanilla. Mix well. Add flour, soda, baking powder and salt alternately with milk. Fold in nuts. Pour batter into 2 loaf pans (9x5x3 inch) that were greased and floured. Bake at 376 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and bake for 1 hour. Test for doneness with a toothpick. Romove from pans when partly cooled. Store in tight container or wrap in foil. Best when sliced the next day. Can be frozen when wrapped in foil.
