Ingredients
lemon pudding poppyseed bread
- 2 cups biscuit/baking mix, sifted
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix (do not prepare, use dry mix)
- 1/4 cup poppyseeds
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup canola oil
lemon glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a 9x5 loaf pan and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine sifted baking mix, dry pudding mix, poppyseeds, and lemon zest. Stir together with wire whisk to break up any clumps.
- In smaller mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil. Add into the dry ingredients and stir together with a spatula or wooden spoon, just until moistened and combined.
- Dump batter into the loaf pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the center is peaked nicely and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out dry or with moist crumbs.
- Let cool in loaf pan for about 15 minutes and then remove the bread to a cooling rack and let cool completely before glazing.
- To make glaze : combine powdered sugar and lemon juice into a bowl and stir until combined. Pour, spread, or drizzle over the bread. If you want a thinner glaze then add slightly more lemon juice, or for a thicker more spreadable glaze add less lemon juice.
Notes
If you want more lemon flavor, add 1/4 teaspoon - 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract into the bread batter OR you can even add a small amount into the glaze. The bread as is, has good light lemon flavor (especially when eaten with the glaze) but if you want more, then start with a low amount as lemon extract can be strong.
Be sure and sift the baking mix by either using a sifter or a fine mesh strainer. I linked to some in the post (affiliate) if you need a visual. If you don't have either one of those, then use a wire whisk to smooth out and break up the clumps in the baking mix.
