Ingredients

FOR THE LOAVES, BLEND:

WHISK:

FOR THE GLAZE, COMBINE:

These mini loaves get their pucker power from limoncello, an Italian lemon liqueur. If you don’t have it or can’t find it, substitute fresh lemon juice instead.

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly coat six 5×4½-inch mini loaf pans or disposable foil mini loaf pans with nonstick spray.

For the loaves, blend sugar, oil, eggs, limoncello, butter, vanilla, and zest in a bowl with a mixer on low speed.

Whisk together flour, lemon peel, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt. Blend flour mixture and milk into sugar mixture just until combined.

Divide batter among prepared pans, filling two-thirds to three-quarters full. Bake loaves until golden and toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean, 4550 minutes. Cool loaves in pans on a rack for 15 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely.

For the glaze, combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Drizzle glaze over tops of cooled loaves.
