Banana Tea Bread

My sister used to make this Banana Tea Bread when we were kids and it was so good!

1 3/4 c flour, sifted
2 t baking powder
1/4 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
1/3 c shortening
2 eggs, well beaten
2/3 c sugar
2-3 bananas, mashed

Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Set aside.  Beat shortening with electric mixer until creamy. Add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with bananas. Beat well after each addition until smooth. Pour into a well-greased bread pan (8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 inches), and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Makes 1 loaf of Banana Tea Bread.
