 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.
