This is a very good banana bread. I was thouroughly impressed with this recipe because most that I make actually have salt in it, and I have never used buttermilk. I was skeptical because it was really hard to pour but it turned out to be one of the best banana breads ever. Thanks so much for this wonderful bread.

<br>I don't have a favorite recipe book (although my mom's 1970 version of Betty Crocker is a keeper)as I collect them at all half price book stores and garage sales. I read cookbooks in front of the TV and while on conference calls....don't tell!
