I've decided to make poppy seed bread as an end-of-year gift for Miranda's teachers. It just seems like such a friendly recipe to me. And, who knows, maybe this is what the hobbits are talking about when they refer to seedcake. :)

POPPYSEED BREAD

3 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder 1 1/2 tsp. salt 2 1/2 cups sugar 1 1/2 tbl. poppyseed 1 1/8 cups oil 3 eggs 1 1/2 cups milk 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 1/2 tsp. butter flavor 1 1/2 tsp. almond flavor

Glaze: 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup orange juice 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1/2 tsp. butter flavor 1/2 tsp. almond flavor

Mix dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased and floured loaf pans or bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until crack in top is dry. Brush glaze over warm loaves. Makes 3 small loaves or 1 bundt pan.
