Lilia and Poppyseed Bread

My "adopted" niece Lilia returned late last Thursday night after being gone for six months with "YWAM."
I had been planning to make some Poppyseed Bread for a couple of days. Well, Friday afternoon I finally got around to making it.  Just before I started Lilia came by for a visit.  So I whipped
it up as we visited and then when it came out of the oven I offered her a warm muffin.
As she was eating it she said; this is so good and I knew that you would have something homemade
for me to eat!  Wow, I love that!  If that is not a Kitchen Mercy I don't know what it is!!

I got this recipe from Aunt Margie several years ago.  I have made several batches lately and everyone really likes it. 


Poppyseed Bread

3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
2 1/4 Cups Sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 Cups Milk
1 1/2 Cups Canola Oil
3 Eggs
1 1/2 Tablespoons Poppyseed
1 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract
1 1/2 teaspoon Butter Flavoring (found in spice isle)

Mix altogether and stir for 2 to 3 minutes.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size of pan you are using.  It will make 3 mini loaves and 6 Texas size muffins. 

Topping

1/4 Cup warm orange juice (frozen concentrate)
3/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Butter Flavoring
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Almond Extract

Stir together in a bowl, spoon on warm loaves while they are still in the pan.
So Yummy!  :)
