"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

With mixer cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs to creamed mixture one at a time and beat until fluffy. On wax paper, sift together flour, soda, gum, and salt. In three additions, add flour mixture, bananas, and buttermilk to creamed ingredients. Mix well after each addition. Add nuts and mix one last time. Bake 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean. If needed, lightly tent with foil about 30 minutes into baking to keep from burning the top. After baking let it cool in the pan about 30 minutes then remove from the pan to continue to cool.

Personal Notes:
This is Mom's recipe converted to gluten free. It is very moist and her secret is using very ripe black bananas. These are the ones that most people would throw away, but not Mom...she concocts something wonderful out of them. The 1 c. of pecans is only a suggestion...feel free to add more. I do.
