Pear and Poppy Seed Loaf
Hands down, this slightly sweet loaf is my husband and children's favorite. Instead of butter, I top slices with plain yogurt. —Sherry Flaquel, Cutler Bay, Florida
12 Servings
Prep: 25 min. Bake: 55 min. + cooling
Ingredients
2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup finely chopped peeled ripe pears
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In a small
bowl, combine the egg, buttermilk, honey, butter and vanilla. Stir
into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in pears.
