Add eggs one at a time and blend thoroughly. Mix the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and add to mixer alternately with the milk. Bake in a loaf pan about 1 hour in preheated 340° oven (we use our oven thermometer in any oven we bake in to insure accuracy) most ovens are off at least 25 degree’s Fahrenheit!
