Steps:

• Beat together the eggs, 2 1/2 cups white sugar and vegetable oil. Add in milk, salt, baking powder, poppy seeds, vanilla, almond flavoring, and flour. Mix well.
• Bake in paper lined muffin cups (filled 3/4 full or 3 small greased loaf pans) at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15-20 minutes for muffins and 50-60 minutes for loaves. The tops should be browned and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
• Remove muffins as soon as you can while still warm/hot and dunk tops into glaze. Turn right side up and cool on a cookie rack. With loaves just pour the glaze evenly over the three loaves while still in pans. Let cool to a warm temp. and remove from pans. Yes, it is a little messy but it is really good.
• To Make Glaze: In a saucepan over low heat, combine 3/4 cup sugar, orange juice, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, 1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring and 2 teaspoons melted butter. Warm in pan until the sugar is dissolved. Pour over loaf pans or dunk muffin tops into glaze when cooled to room temperature. (Omit the glaze altogether if you don't like the mess.)

Steps:

• In separate bowl combine buttermilk, oil and eggs, whisking gently.
• Grate lemon and add zest to dry mixture, stirring well.
• Squeeze juice from lemon to form 1/3 cup (add more if lemon does not produce required amount, I measured 1/2 cup for my batch for more zing)
• Pour lemon juice into dry ingredients and blend slightly (keeping the lemon juice separate from milk will prevent curdling). Pour in wet ingredients from bowl and mix only until blended, Do not over mix.
• Spoon into tin and bake until top is slightly golden, about 18-20mins or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Make a simple glaze from powdered sugar, lemon juice and milk for an extra sweet treat.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, poppy seeds, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, oil and extracts; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm.
