This is a wonderful bread that goes very well with tea. I like this recipe over other lemon bread recipes I've found because the glaze is allowed to saturate the bread all the way through. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour |
1 cup sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup milk |
1/2 cup salad oil |
1 1/2 teaspoons grated lemons, rind of |
4 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/3 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Grease and flour-dust a 4 1/2 by 8 1/2-inch loaf pan; preheat oven to 350°.
2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; in a small bowl, beat eggs with milk, oil and lemon peel.
3. Add egg mixture to flour mixture; stir just until blended and spread batter in prepared loaf pan.
4. Bake until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45-50 minutes; meanwhile, prepare lemon glaze.
5. Using a long wooden skewer, poke numerous holes in hot bread, piercing all the way to the bottom.
6. Slowly drizzle hot glaze over bread; let cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes then remove from pan and let cool completely on rack.
7. Lemon Glaze: In a small pan, combine lemon juice and sugar; stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
