Recipe
1.Cream first three ingredients together. 2. Add milk and zest
and blend well. 3. Add dry ingredients and blend to throughly mixed. Dough will be thick. 4. Place in two greased loaf pans and bake at 350 for about 1 hr.. Cool on cooling racks placed on a layer of waxed paper or foil. Glaze with a mixture of 1/2 c.
sugar mixed with the juice of 1 lemon and 1 lime, while bread is still cooling. I like to serve one loaf fresh and freeze the other one for safe keeping for unexpected dinner guests. This bread is so good you should not trust yourself HOME ALONE with it !
