(Got this from the Internet years ago. It is delish!!! We eat up an entire loaf in one day whenever I make it!!)
6 T. butter, softened
1 C. sugar
2 eggs beaten
grated peel of 1 lemon
1/2 C. Milk
1 1/2 C. flour
1 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
3 T. poppy seeds
Glaze:
Juice of one lemon
1/2 C. sugar
Heat oven to 350. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, lemon peel and milk and blend well. In separate bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir into the creamed mixture and blend well. Fold in poppy seeds. Grease 2 small bread pans. Divide batter between them. Bake for about 45 minutes. Meanwhile in a small bowl combine lemon juice and sugar. When loaves are done, spoon glaze over them as they come out of the oven. Wrap bread in foil until you are ready to serve.
