2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup amaretto liqueur -- plus additional for brushing
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup unsalted butter -- at room temp

An almond-lover's delight, little quick bread loaves are loaded with
almonds, almond paste, and amaretto almond liqueur. Almond paste is
usually found in the baking aisle at your local market. These little
loaves make great gifts from the kitchen.
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour mini-loaf pans. Whisk together
flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Combine
amaretto and milk. Set aside.In a large bowl, cream butter and almond
paste together. Beat in sugar a little at a time. Add eggs, one at a
time, beating until combined. Add flour to the butter mixture a third
at a time, alternating with amaretto milk, and ending with flour.
Beat just until mixed. Fill mini-loaf pans three-fourths full.
Sprinkle with almonds and sugar. Bake 45 minutes or until a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove amaretto almond loaves
from pans and cool on racks to room temp. Brush with additional
amaretto, if desired.
Yield: 4 to 6 loaves, depending upon the size of your mini-pans
