Aunt Den's Banana Bread

This is one of those recipes that goes wayyyyy back to my childhood.

2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup mashed bananas ( 2 or 3)
1 TBSP vinegar + milk to equal - 1/2 cup

Sift together - flour, baking soda and salt

Cream shortening, blending sugar - add eggs one at a time and beat until light and fluff
Add flour mixture alternating with bananas and milk mixture. Beat well after each addition.

Bake in a greased loaf pan at 350 degrees for 60 -70 minutes or until done. Cool several hours before slicing.
