Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup butter

- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon rind
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
Glaze Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions:
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Lemon: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then add the fresh lemon juice and lemon rind, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Alternate Mixing: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir until just combined.
- Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease an 8″x4″ loaf pan.
- Pour Batter: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Make Glaze: While the bread is baking, prepare the glaze by mixing together the fresh lemon juice and confectioners’ sugar until smooth.
- Drizzle Glaze: Once the bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, remove the bread from the pan and place it on a wire rack. While it’s still warm, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the bread.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the glazed lemon bread to cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
