Banana Nut Bread

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 Cup Butter

1 Cup Sugar

3 Eggs (well beaten)

3 Bananas (crushed)

1 Tablespoon buttermilk

2 Cups flour

1 Teaspoon baking soda

1/4 Teaspoon of salt

1/2 Cup pecan pieces

INSTRUCTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350.

Mix together flour, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl, set aside for later. 

In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment or with an electric hand-held mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually pour the egg mixture into the butter while mixing until incorporated. Add the bananas and buttermilk (the mixture will appear to be curdled, so don't worry). Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the nuts and transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
