Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter -- melted
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon extract
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/2 cup chopped pecans
This has been a huge success everywhere it has showed up.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9"x5" loaf pan.
Prepare lemony glaze by mixing 1/4 C lemon juice with 1/2 C sugar and
set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar and lemon extract until fluffy.
Add eggs, beating until mixture is blended. In a medium bowl, sift
flour, baking powder and salt. Pour 1/3 of the flour into the egg
mixture. Add 1/3 of the milk. Stir until blended. Continue adding
flour and milk alternately until all is blended. Do not
overmix. Fold in lemon peel and pecans. Pour batter into prepared
pan. Bake one hour or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out
clean. Remove bread from oven and immediately pour lemony glaze
slowly over the top. Let stand 15 - 20 minutes. Turn out onto rack
to cool. May be frozen.
Before serving bread bring to room temperature. Cut in thin slices.
(This is easy to do, since this stuff is pretty dense and moist).
Serve with butter, or lemon curd or clotted cream. (I like it best
with lemon curd).
Variation:
Bake it in smaller loaf pans for finger-food sized slices for parties.
* For Vegans:
Margarine works well in this. I have never tried it with egg
substitutes or dairy milk substitutes, but I don't see why it
wouldn't work. The texture might be different, but I think it would
still taste good. (I doubt that it would be much more dense than the
original version).
