TBone's Banana Bread

Here's a recipe I made that was culled from many old recipes from the 50's with a couple twists.  It's moist and tasty.  Bona petite.
Prep Time: 15 minutes     Cooking Time: 1 hour
Ingredients
2 cps flour
2 eggs
1 cp sugar
1/2 cp Crisco shortening
4 banana's (medium to large)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
6 Tblsp sour cream
1 cp chopped walnuts (black are the best) optional
Nutmeg ground, optional

 Preheat oven to 350 F.  Cream the sugar, bananas and Crisco together with a fork till thoroughly mixed.  Separate 2 eggs, saving the whites for later.  Add the egg yolks, baking soda, salt, walnuts, baking powder, flour, and stir till all is mixed well, by hand if possible.  Whip the egg whites till firm and fluffy.  Gently fold the whites into the mixture.  Pour into 2 small Pam sprayed bread pans (not sure what they call these small bread pans).  Sprinkle ground nutmeg over the top of the loaves.  Bake at 350 F for about an hour (depending on altitude) normally, but stick a toothpick into the middle to make sure it comes out clean.  It's a very versatile recipe, you can add more banana's or sour cream, and it still turns out very nice.  That's it.
