1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick butter
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon almond extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8� x 4 1/2� loaf pans and set aside. (I have also baked it in my new Nordicware long "loaf" Bundt pan.
Combine dry ingredients in large mixing bowl. Cut in 1 stick of butter till fine crumbs are formed. Remove 1/3 cup crumbs and set aside.
Beat 2 eggs in small bowl. Make well in center of dry ingredients and add eggs, 1 Tablespoon almond extract, and 1 cup milk. Mix until dry ingredients are wet. Spread batter into prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle reserved crumbs on top. Bake 350 for 45 minutes.
NOTE: Toasted almonds can also be added to the topping or to the batter to make it extra special.
