Banana Bread

3 long bananas (mashed) 
1 tbsp water
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
½ cup shortening
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp soda
Dash of salt
½ cup chopped nuts

Mix mashed banana with water and sugar, eggs and balance of ingredients. Bake at 325° for 45 minutes or until done.

(I've found it taking MUCH longer than 45 minutes)

Edit: I used a glass loaf pan and it took one hour. Last week I used a metal loaf pan and it took almost an hour and 10 minutes.
