Lemon Bread Recipe 

1¼ hours | 15 min prep 
SERVES 6 -8, 1 loaf 
1/2 cup butter, room temperature (1 stick) 
1 cup sugar, plus 
1/2 cup sugar (for glaze) 
2 eggs, slightly beaten 
1 1/2 cups flour 
1 teaspoon baking powder 
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1 large lemon
1/2 cup chopped nuts 
Grate or zest the lemon peel from the lemon, and squeeze the juice from the lemon and set aside. 

Cream the butter and 1 cup sugar together. 

Add eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, milk, lemon rind/zest, and nuts, mixing well. 

Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake at 325 F for 50-60 minutes. 

Make glaze by mixing together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the lemon juice. 

When bread is finished baking, remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and top with glaze. Cool.

My notes:
Because of altitude, I cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes in a small loaf pan.
