Nancy's Banana Nut Muffins

Directions

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.

Cream together shortening and sugar in bowl until light and fluffy, using electric mixer at medium speed.

Beat in eggs, one at a time, blending well after each addition.

Stir in mashed bananas.

Add dry ingredients all at once, stirring just enough to moisten.

Gently mix in chopped nuts.

Spoon batter into greased 3-inch muffin-pan cups, filling 2/3rds full.

Sprinkle more nuts on top if desired.

Bake in 350℉ (180℃) F oven 20 minutes or until golden brown.
