Prepare banana mixture: In another bowl, mash 4 ripe bananas. Beat 2 eggs and add them to the mashed bananas along with 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract and 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk. Mix well to combine.
-
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the banana mixture to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until well combined.
-
Sift dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking soda, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt.
-
Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the banana mixture. Beat well until the batter is smooth and well combined.
-
Prepare loaf pans: Grease and flour two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans.
-
Pour batter into pans: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
-
Bake: Place the loaf pans in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread pulls away from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool: Allow the banana bread to cool in the pans for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Prepare topping: In a saucepan, melt 1 cup of butter. Add 1 cup of sugar and 5 tablespoons of milk. Cook over medium heat until the mixture becomes very syrupy, about 10 minutes.
-
Add pecans: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the chopped pecans.
-
Top the bread: Pour the pecan topping over the cooled banana bread, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
-
Broil: Place the topped bread under the broiler until the topping is brown and bubbly. Be sure to watch it closely to prevent burning.
-
Serve: Once the topping is nicely browned, remove the banana bread from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
