BANANA BREAD 
2 med. bananas, with speckled skins
1 egg
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tbsp. bottled grated orange peel
1/2 c. Bisquick
9 oz. box yellow cake mix

Slice bananas very thinly into 2 quart mixing bowl. Use a wire whisk to break up slices of bananas into bits without really mashing them. Stir in remaining ingredients as listed, switching to mixing spoon when you add Bisquick and the cake mix (dry from the box, by the way). Make sure every particle is dissolved, but don't over beat or bread will be heavy.

Turn batter into a Pam sprayed 8 1/2 inch Pyrex loaf pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 65 minutes or until done. Cool in pan on wire rack 15 minutes. Drizzle top of loaf with a thin Vanilla Glaze.

VANILLA GLAZE:

Beat together until smooth: 1 tsp. vanilla 10 tbsp. powdered sugar

Spread over warm bread. Cool 1 hour longer before wrapping in plastic and chill bread 4 hours, before slicing.
