Found the Indescribably Delicious Banana Bread. This is from Carolinacooker's review. She has a url to the picture of the bread she made.

===============================

After reading Linda’s review last night on this recipe I made it and took it to my volunteer group this morning. Needless to say its history! This banana bread is above the ordinary with an incredible topping that is hard to resist. I renamed it on my web site to "Praline-Topped Banana Bread" as it seemed a very fitting description with the buttery, sweet, pecan-laden topping. Marcia, I cannot thank you enough for sharing this great brunch item (or dessert!) and thanks to whoever posted it originally!

I reworded the directions just a little on my site describing the way it made the topping.

Here’s HDMac’s post:

INDESCRIBABLY DELICIOUS BANANA BREAD
Posted by HDMac

Got this off a board not sure but may have been Mary Ellen. This is NUMMY!!!

Topping: for AFTER baking
6 Tablespoons butter
10 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
5 Tablespoons milk
1 Cup chopped pecans or more if you like!

Batter:
1 Cup butter
1 ½ Cup sugar
2 eggs
4 very ripe bananas
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 Tablespoons buttermilk
2 Cup flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons salt

Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugar. Mash bananas, beat 2 eggs and add to bananas with vanilla and buttermilk. Mix well and add to creamed butter and sugar. Sift together flour, soda and salt. Add to banana mixture and beat well. Pour into 2 greased and floured loaf pans 9 x 5 x 3.

Bake 45 to 50 min until bread pulls away from sides of pan. (Just don’t overcook) Cool.

To prepare topping, 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 corners and place under broiler till brown and bubbly. WATCH CLOSELY. DO NOT LET BURN!

Notes from HDMac -- As to when to put on the topping, I try to have the topping ready when the bread comes out of the oven and put over and put under the broiler. Then let it cool...... sometimes I am a little on the slower side so it cools slightly while I make the topping and then put on the bread.

This is a recipe that is in the new cookbook I received in the cookbook swap. Can't wait to try it.

Have cranberries on the grocery list to give it a try. Look super easy to make.

Hello to everyone! I've been so busy I haven't had a chance to write but I read the posts!

I've been on the lookout for a turkey recipe since I have now heard that the paper bag cooking method is dangerous. Sheryle has helped alot and I think I have the recipe to use which includes brine which I haven't done before.

Wish I was going to a pampered chef party! I want the pie shields!!

Have a great evening.

Just have to say...about the banana bread. When bananas go bad I have to make myself bake bread with it. Now I can't wait until I have to bake it...this is the recipe I'll use!!!
