Lemony Glaze:
1/3 cup butter -- melted
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
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 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).
