"Beyond Parsley's" Almond-Glazed Poppy Seed Bread

3 c. all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

3 eggs

1 1/2 c. milk

1/2 c. butter, room temperature

1/2 c. oil

2 1/4 c. sugar

1 1/2 tsp. poppy seeds

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 tsp. almond extract

1 1/2 tsp. butter flavoring

Almond Glaze

1/2 tsp. almond extract

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/4 c. orange juice

3/4 c. sugar

Combine all ingredients and beat in a mixer two minutes. Pour into 2 large or 5 small greased and floured loaf pans. Bake large loaves at 350 degrees for 1 hour and smaller loaves for about 25 minutes or until brown. Cool 10 minutes and remove from pans. Spoon glaze generously over tops and sides. Cool completely. Wrap in foil to store or freeze.

To make almond glaze, mix ingredients together until sugar is dissolved.

This sweet bread can be made richer by adding 1 1/2 tsp. butter flavoring to the batter and 1/2 tsp. to the glaze.

 Banana Bread

1/2 c. butter

1 1/2 c. sugar

2 eggs

1/2 c. sour cream

1 tsp. baking soda

1 c. ripe bananas

2 c. flour

1/2 c. chopped nutmeats

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, continuing to cream. Add remaining ingredients, mixing just until blended.

Bake at 350 degrees for 50 minutes in a greased and floured loaf pan.

Hushpuppies

2 c. self-rising flour

1 c. self-rising cornmeal

1 1/2 c. finely chopped onions (Vidalia, if possible)

1 tsp. cayenne pepper

1 tsp. garlic powder

1 Tbsp. salt

Buttermilk or sweet milk and beer to make a paste (any combination of these)

Mix dry ingredients together well. Add liquid to just make a paste. Do NOT overmix once you add the liquid.

Using two tablespoons, drop the batter into medium-hot oil (preferably oil you have just fried catfish in, to flavor the pups). Fry until golden brown. You may want to check the first few to make sure the centers are done.

Serve with catfish. Don't forget to throw a few to the puppies, accompanied with a loud, "HUSH, puppies!"
