Originally found on Epicurious taken from Necessities & Temptations from the Junior League of Austin. This recipe is so good. I have never had banana bread so moist and delicious. The topping is perfect.

- Batter shopping list
- * 1 cup butter shopping list

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream butter and sugar; mash bananas, beat 2 eggs and add to the bananas with vanilla and buttermilk; mix well and add to creamed butter and sugar; sift together flour, soda and salt; add to banana mixture, beat well; pour into 2 greased and floured 9x5x3-inch loaf pans; bake 45 to 50 minutes (I find this bread needs over an hour) or until bread pulls away from sides of pan; add topping.
- To prepare Topping: Melt butter in saucepan; add sugar and milk; cook until syrupy (like honey); 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 (this takes around 1 minute- maybe even less!).
