Lemon Poppy Seed Bread

Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Grease a pan loaf and set aside.

In a medium bowl mix your flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In your mixer bowl, cream your butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar and mix well, scraping the sides of the bowl at least once. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Add your lemon zest and juice. Add half of your flour mixture followed by half of your milk. Put the last of the flour and milk. Add your poppy seeds and mix well. Using a spatula, clean your mixer attachment and finish the batter by hand. Pour in your prepared pan and bake in your preheated oven for 55–60 minutes.

Meanwhile mix your lemon juice and sugar to make your lemon syrup and set aside.

After removing your bread from the oven, carefully and slowly pour your syrup on your hot bread. Let cool at room temperature and enjoy!
