    Recipe Introduction


    "A pretty glaze gives this tender, nutty bread a extra boost of lemony flavor. "I make it at least once a week. For variety, I substitute grated orange peel and orange juice for the lemons."

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1-1/2 cups sugar, divided
    2 eggs
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    3/4 cup sour cream
    1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
    1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
    1/4 cup lemon juice

    Recipe



    In a large bowl, cream butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Fold in pecans and lemon peel.

    Transfer to a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

    In a small saucepan, combine lemon juice and remaining sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Pour over warm bread. Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from pan.

    Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
