Recipe of the Week: Lemon Poppyseed Bread

In the mood for a moist, delicious, lightly lemony muffin? This is our favorite!

Stir together:
3 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
2 T poppy seeds
2 1/2 cups white sugar
1/2 pkg. small lemon jell-o
Add:
3 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 1/8 cups oil
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp lemon extract

Mix until smooth, about one minute. Pour batter evenly into 2 greased, floured bread pans.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes (18 minutes for muffins), or toothpick comes out clean. Cool loaves in pans for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
Combine 1/4 cup orange juice with 1 cup powdered sugar and almond extract. Whisk until smooth. Drizzle over bread.
