Almond Poppy Seed Bread

We bought a quart of buttermilk for the Red Velvet Cake, but only used one cup, so it was time to find a recipe or two to use some up. Since it's also time to make Christmas treats for our friends, this looked like a great recipe to try.

Almond Poppy Seed Bread

(from this website)

• 2 1/2 cups flour all purpose
• 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Combine all the ingredients (dry then wet then together) and place into 3-4 greased mini loaf pans. Sprinkle with a few sliced almonds if desired. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Let cool in pans for a few minutes, then turn out to cool completely.
