Indescribably Delicious Banana Bread


Indescribably Delicious Banana Bread

1 cup butter
1-1/2 cups sugar
2 large eggs
4 very ripe bananas, mashed*
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons buttermilk
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Mash
bananas, beat the eggs and add to the bananas with the vanilla
and buttermilk. Mix well. Add to creamed butter and sugar
mixture. Sift together flour, soda and salt. Add to banana
mixture, beat well. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9"x 5"x 3"
loaf pans. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until bread pulls away from
sides of pan. Cool

Topping:
6 tablespoons butter
10 tablespoons dark brown sugar
5 tablespoons milk
1 cup or more, chopped pecans

Melt butter in saucepan. Add sugar and milk. Cook until very
syrupy. Remove from heat and add chopped pecans. Pour over
bread, spreading to all the corners and place under broiler
until bubbly and brown. WATCH CLOSELY so topping does not burn.

Note: Use the softest mushy bananas that you can. I leave them
on the counter until they are almost black.
