Paximade recipe

1 servings

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

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.
