Banana bread was one of the few things my mother made from scratch, and I loved hers. Sadly, I lost her recipe, so my daughter and I went in search of a new one, one grandmother-worthy. I wish I could remember in which cookbook we found this one. All I know is that this has become our family standard, worthy of its name.

Steps:
- 1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- 2. In a medium-size bowl, mash bananas. Beat eggs; add to bananas along with vanilla and buttermilk. Mix well, then add to mixture in the large mixing bowl.
- 3. In a third bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. (Confession: I never sift them, and I don't dirty a third bowl.) Add to banana mixture; mix well.
- 4. Grease and flour 2 large loaf pans or 4 - 5 mini loaf pans. Distribute batter evenly amongst them.
- 5. Bake at 350 degrees F until bread pulls away from the sides: 45 - 50 minutes for a large loaf; 30 minutes for a mini loaf. DON'T OVERCOOK!
- 6. About 10 minutes before the bread is done, begin making the topping. In a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat, melt 6 Tbs. butter. Stir in the brown sugar and milk. Cook until very syrupy. Stir frequently, if not constantly.
- 7. Remove syrup from heat. Stir in nuts. Pour over warm cooked bread, spreading topping to all corners. Broil until brown and bubbly, about 1 minute.
