Paximade

Ingridients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon anise seed

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

Directions

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the anise seed and mix well.

In a separate large bowl cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in one egg, and then the other. Beat for 1 minute.

Beginning with the flour mixture, alternately add the milk and flour to the large bowl with the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until all ingredients are incorporated.

Spoon batter into a greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree F (175 degrees C) oven for 50 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack. May be stored in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
