Lemon Loaf

Directions

From lemon, grate 1 tablespoon peel and squeeze 4½ teaspoons lemon juice; set aside.

In large bowl with fork, mix flour, baking powder, salt and 4½ cups sugar.

Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in peel.

In small bowl with fork, beat eggs slightly and stir in milk; then stir this mixture into flour mixture just until flour is moistened.

Spoon into greased loaf pan.

Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F for 1¼ hours.

Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan.

Heat lemon juice over medium-high heat, stirring in 2 tablespoons sugar.

Heat to boiling.

Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

With pastry brush, brush sugar mixture evenly over top of bread.

Serve warm, or cool loaf completely to serve later.
