PREPARATION
Preheat oven to 350 F. 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 temperature. Brush with additional amaretto, if desired.
Yield: 4 to 6 loaves, depending upon the size of your mini-pans
