After years of dry and flavorless banana bread, this recipe was worked out. The secret is using the ripest bananas...Almost too ripe to handle! Ingredients:

1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup softened margarine |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup buttermilk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2-1 cup chopped nuts |
1 cup well-mashed over-ripe banana |
1 cup confectioners' sugar |
2 -3 tablespoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Grease and flour two 8 1/2-by-4 1/2 inch loaf pans.
3. Combine flour, salt, and baking soda.
4. Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
5. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
6. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately.
7. Beat batter 2-3 minutes.
8. Stir in vanilla, nuts, and bananas.
9. Spoon into loaf pans.
10. Bake about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick can be inserted and pulled out clean.
11. Cool before adding glaze.
12. For the glaze, stir confectioners' sugar and lemon juiice until smooth.
