    List of Ingredients


    • 1/3 cup butter, melted
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
    • Grated peel of 1 lemon
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • Glaze:
    • 1/2 cup sugar
    • 1/4 cup lemon juice


    Instructions


    1. Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, mix melted butter, sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel and milk. Beat in eggs. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Add flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring just enough to blend (do not over stir, or loaf may be tough). Pour into prepared pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or just until loaf tests done.
    2. Shortly before bread is done, prepare glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together sugar and lemon juice until sugar is dissolved; remove from heat. While loaf is still warm in pan, poke small holes into the hot loaf , brush prepared glaze over top of the loaf, allowing it to soak down into the loaf. There will be a lot of glaze, just keep soaking it in. Cool completely. Wrap and store for 24 hours before slicing.


    Final Comments


    I like to double this recipe. The loaf is not very high.
