3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Add chopped nuts.
Pour into pan, smooth the top, and bake for 30 minutes (I did 35 after testing at 30) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes, then invert onto the rack to cool completely.
NOTES: We liked the bread! The Bundt pan worked...it rose up 2.5 inches of my 10 x 3 pan.
It's moist with a light banana taste. It's not too sweet. We really like it.
This is one of my favorite cookbooks. It has passages from the Mitford books, followed by a recipe for the food mentioned. The note on this banana bread comes from A New Song. The bread is quite wonderful, with a nice hint of lemon.
