Amish Friendship Banana Nut Bread is a classic American recipe that has been passed down through generations of families. It is a great way to use up overripe bananas and the Amish Friendship Bread Starter, which is a type of sourdough starter that is made with sugar, flour, and yeast. This bread is easy to make and has a delicious, nutty flavor that is perfect for breakfast, snacks, or as a dessert. The rich texture of the bread comes from the shortening and milk used in the recipe, which gives it a moist and tender crumb. It is best served warm with a dollop of butter or cream cheese.

2.In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and white sugar.

7.Fold in the chopped walnuts.
8.Pour the batter into 2 greased and floured 9x5 inch loaf pans.
9.Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
10.Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove onto a wire rack to cool completely.
