This lemon bread is nice for a breakfast or brunch treat, or it can be served for dessert by cutting thicker slices and topping them with mixed berries and whipped cream.
Ingredients: |
1.5 cup flour
1.5 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
zest of one lemon
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk (any type except skim)
Glaze:
juice of two lemons
1/3 c. sugar

Directions: |
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. In a medium bowl, cream butter and sugar, then mix in eggs. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the batter until well combined.
Pour batter into a loaf pan that is either well greased or lined with wax paper/parchment.
Bake at 350 for 50-60 min or until just turning light golden at the edges. During baking, stir together the lemon juice and 1/3 cup sugar for the glaze.
While the bread is still hot and in the pan, poke lots of holes in the top with a toothpick. Spoon glaze over top of hot bread slowly so it can absorb. Cool for a bit, then remove from pan so glaze doesn't cause bread to stick in pan.
When cool, slice and serve.
