-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 ounces butter -- (1 stick, 8 Tbsp), softened
1 cup granulated sugar -- minus 1T
1 tablespoon honey
2 eggs -- room temp
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 teaspoon baking powder
Glaze:
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/3 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon honey
Tip: eggs rise better when they are at room temp. If you are pressed
for time and have cold eggs, put them in a bowl of warm water (not
hot, warm) for a few minutes before using.
* Do not soften butter in microwave. Either leave a stick of butter
on kitchen counter for an hour, or place between two pieces of wax
paper and rollout with a rolling pin to soften.
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Butter a 4x8" loaf pan.
2. Beat the butter until fluffy, about 2 min. Add the sugar and
honey, continue to beat until creamy, a few min more. Add eggs, one
at a time, beating after each addition to incorporate. On low speed,
slowly beat the milk in. Do not worry if the mixture looks a little
curdled. Mix in lemon zest.
3. Sift together the flour, salt, cardamom, baking powder. Add to
the wet ingredients, beating until smooth.
4. Place batter in prepared pan and bake for 1 hr at 350F.
5. While the lemon bread is baking, prepare the glaze. Heat the
glaze ingredients - lemon juice, sugar, honey - in a small saucepan
until the sugar is completely dissolved.
6. Once you have removed the bread from the oven, poke holes all
over the top with a thin skewer (this will help the glaze penetrate).
Spoon the glaze over it while the bread is still in the pan and is
still hot. Let cool for 10 min before removing from pan and slicing to serve.
