• This recipe comes from a little cookbook put out by the Waushara Co. (WI) Homemakers' Club. It is one I've relied on over the years. Enjoy.

• 1/2 c. shortening
• 1-1/2 c. sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 t. vanilla
• 1/4 c. buttermilk or sour milk
• 2 c. flour
• 1/2 t. baking powder
• 3/4 t. soda
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1 c. mashed bananas—2 lg. or 3 sm.

• Grease 9x12-inch pan. Cream shortening, add sugar, beat until light & fluffy, add eggs & vanilla. Add 1/4 c. sour milk or buttermilk. Add dry ingredients alternately with mashed banana, mixing only to blend. Bake 30 to 35 min. at 350 F.
