    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4             ounces  butter -- softened*
    1                cup  granulated sugar -- minus 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
    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           cup  sugar
    1         tablespoon  honey

NOTE:* 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 4 x 8" loaf pan.

2   Beat the butter until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and 
honey, continue to beat until creamy, a few minutes 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 hour 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 minutes before removing from pan and 
slicing to serve.

Makes one loaf.
