Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder

6 Tbl unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs, room temp
1/2 cup milk

Zest from a lemon
1/4 cup poppy seeds

Glaze:
1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
juice from one lemon

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease and flour a 9x15 in loag pan (or 4 small bread tins)

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder.  Set aside.

In a larger bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugar and eggs until it's light and fluffy.  Add milk and flour mixture in two parts, mixing well.  Stir in the grated lemon peel and poppy seeds.

Pour batter into into prepared baking pan(s).  Bake for 50-60 min (the little tins took 40 min) (rotating pan half-way through bake time from even browning), OR until a toothpick or tester inserted into center of bread comes out clean.  Allow bread to cool for 5 minutes.

Prepare the glaze by mixing sugar and lemon juice, poke wholes into bread with fork and drizzle over warm bread and allow to cool or serve warm.

So yummy :)
