Preheat oven to 350º F. Line 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inch loaf pan with lining and grease. Mash banana and set aside. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend after each. Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, and spices, then add that mix to the butter mix and stir. Add sour cream, banana, vanilla; mix enough to blend. Pour into tin. Bake until top springs back when touched lightly, 45-50 minutes. Let cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn onto wire rack. For glaze, combine sugar and lemon juice, stirring until smooth. Pour over cooled loaf and allow to set.
NOTE: This is a good bread without the glaze too, but once you put the glaze on it is decidedly more dessert-like. Please be advised that I converted this myself from British measurements and they are not exact--YMMV!
