Ingredients

Maryann from Mn asked for the recipe for the topping for the "Indescribably delicious Banana
Bread". I'm enclosing the complete recipe as it appeared when originally submitted. The topping is included here. BTW, I have made it, and it truly is delicious! Next time, I think I'll
toss some chopped walnuts in it just for a slightly different effect. Happy baking!

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

Directions

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.

Comments

Note: Use the softest mushy bananas that you can. I leave them on the counter until they are
almost black. This recipe was posted along time ago on Gail's Recipe Swap by nlb. It originally
came from a Jr. League in Austin cookbook.
