Cream the shortening in a large mixing bowl, then gradually add the sugar. Continue mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the mashed bananas until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the salt, baking powder, baking soda, and flour. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the sour cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Grease a bundt pan or two bread pans. Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s), spreading evenly.
Bake for about 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success
Use ripe bananas for the best flavor and natural sweetness.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for even mixing.
If you’re using a bundt pan, make sure to grease it thoroughly to prevent sticking
