Ingredients:

1-3/4 cup flour; sifted
2 ts baking powder
1/4 ts baking soda
1/2 ts salt
1/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs; well beaten
2 tb dark corn syrup
1-1/2 cup ripe bananas; well mashed; (2 or 3)
1/2 cup Walnut meats;

Instructions:

Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together. With the electric beater on low, fluff the shortening until soft and creamy in a small bowl. Or beat by hand until fluffy. Add the sugar gradually. Beat in the eggs and dark corn syrup in a slow stream.

With a fork, beat into the shortening a third of the bananas, half the flour, another third of the bananas, the remaining flour, and the last of the bananas. Fold in the walnut meats. Turn into a greased and floured 1 1/2-quart mold and cover with a loosely fitting plate.

Place the mold on a rack or a trivet in the cooker. Cover the cooker, but prop the lid open a fraction with a toothpick or a twist of foil to let excess steam escape. Cook on High for 2 to 3 hours, or until the bread is done. Cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then turn the bread out of the mold. Dust over with brown sugar and serve warm.

Yields: 6 - 8 servings.
