GLAZED LEMON BREAD

Category: Quick Breads

For the bread:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 cup melted stick margarine

For the glaze:
Juice of 1 large lemon
1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar

To prepare bread: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, salt, sugar, lemon zest and baking powder in a bowl. Add milk, eggs and butter and stir until batter is well blended. Coat a 9-by 5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray, then pour in the batter. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Do not remove the bread from the pan.

To prepare glaze: While the bread is baking, stir the lemon juice and sugar together until the sugar is dissolved.

After removing the bread from the oven, use a toothpick to poke holes in the top of the bread while it's still hot. Baste top with glaze several times. Allow time between basting for glaze to set. This will take about 1 hour.
