1/8TeaspoonButter Flavoring
1/4CupMelted, Unsalted Butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Spray and dust with flour (put a little flour in after spray, tap the pan as you turn it to coat all sides and the bottom) 6 mini loaf pans.
In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat the eggs, sugar, milk, buttermilk and oil until combined.
Add the almond, butter and vanilla extracts and mix again.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and poppy seeds.
Add to the wet ingredients and mix until everything is incorporated. Do not over mix.
Pour evenly between 6 pans (sometimes I use 5 but NEVER use only 4 pans or you'll have an oven fire), and bake for 55 minutes. see note
Allow to sit for a couple of minutes, and then while it's still warm, roll in the glaze and pop back into the pans for delivering to friends and neighbors.
Or just wait for the kids to go to bed and eat it all.
For the Glaze
In an 8x8" pan or pie pan, whisk the sugar, orange juice, extracts and butter until smooth.
Set aside, whisking again right before rolling the bread in it.
Notes
If you don't want to use mini pans you are welcome to use 2 regular loaf pans.
