Category: Quick Breads

4 cups flour
1 tsp salt
2/3 cups melted butter
1 1/2 cups milk
Grated zest of a lemon
3 tbsp baking powder
1 3/4 cups cup sugar
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup rum
1 tbsp real vanilla

Lemon Glaze
4 tbsp icing sugar (powdered)
2 tbsp rum
2 tbsp lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350. Lightly grease 2 large loaf pans or a combination of large and mini.

Into large mixing bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. In separate bowl, blend butter, eggs, milk, rum, lemon zest and vanilla. Add the liquid ingredients all at once into the dry ingredients. Blend just until moistened. Turn into prepared pans and tap pan to smooth out mixture.

Bake 60 to 65 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into centre comes out clean. Let cool slightly in pan, and then remove and place on a wire rack to cool. Poke top in several places with a toothpick and brush with lemon glaze while still warm.

Glaze: Blend ingredients until sugar is dissolved.
