Instructions
 Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar together. |
 Beat eggs in a measuring cup.
Add milk and mix well. Add milk mixture to sugar mixture a bit at a time while mixing on low. |

Add lemon rind and stir to mix. |
 Add wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir to mix. |
 Add poppy seeds and stir to mix. |
 Grease and dust loaf pan with flour and knockoff excess flour. |
 Scoop batter into loaf pan.
Bake in a 350 degrees oven. The time depends on the size of the loaf pan. A 9″ x 5″ loaf pan will require 1 hour baking time while muffin tin will require 20 to 25 minutes. |
 Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Prick crust with a fork and drizzle with lemon juice (or brush lemon juice on with a pastry brush).
