Directions:
Cream together the shortening and ripe banana, beating hard for 2 minutes; add egg and continue beating for another minute. Sift dry ingredients and add to first mixture alternately with the milk. Stir in the pecans; spread in a greased, floured 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan. Bake in over 350º for 22-25 minutes.

FROSTING:
Combine melted butter, hot water and lemon juice. Blend in the confectioner's sugar. Thin with additional hot water, a few drops at a time, if necessary. (I double this recipe and freeze one panful if there are 2 or 3 ripe bananas to use up).

Frost while still warm and cut into bars.
