Poppy Seed Bread

I love this bread, but for some reason I only make it for Christmas. We took this to our caroling party the other night and it went pretty fast. If you use mini loaf pans this makes a yummy and easy neighbor gift!

Ingredients:
3 cups flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup plus 2 Tbsp. oil
3 Tbsp. poppy seeds
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 1/2 tsp. butter flavoring

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. With mixer, blend all ingredients until well mixed. Pour into greased and floured loaf pans. You can make 2 large loves or 6 mini loaves. Bake 60 minutes (less if using mini pans) or until tester is clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan.

Glaze:
1/2 cup orange juice
3/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp. butter flavoring
1/2 tsp. almonds extract

Heat all ingredients until sugar melts. Prick bread with fork and pour glaze over while warm.

Sounds so good! I am with the comment maker in that I don't know what butter flavoring is...
Hope all is well and hope to see you at Christmas.
