* Exported from MasterCook * SOUTHERN BANANA BREAD Recipe By : Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Breads Ceideburg 2 Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 c Unbleached flour 1 t Baking soda 1/2 ts Salt 1/2 c Butter or margarine 1 c Sugar 2 Eggs 1 c Mashed, ripe bananas 1/3 c Buttermilk 1 t Vanilla 1/2 c Chopped pecans Everyone has banana bread recipes, but this one uses buttermilk which I thought was interesting. Banana bread is made all over the Northern Hemisphere but this recipe is from the South. Combine flour, soda and salt in a mixing bowl. Cream butter with sugar and beat in eggs with bananas, buttermilk and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients and fold in nuts. Spoon into a greased 9 x 5-inch pan and bake in a preheated 350F oven for about an hour, or until bread tests done in the center. Makes 1 loaf. From the San Francisco Chronicle, 11/16/88.
