Lemon Bread with a Little Glaze
By A Cowboy's Wife •

Every year my son asks for Lemon cake for his birthday and while I’m more than happy to oblige, I wanted to find a different recipe but still staying with his lemon flavor. So, after browsing around, looking through books, I finally decided on a loaf recipe. Lemon Bread. I made this as a gift for some people. You don’t always have to spend money on materialistic items you know, something from the heart and handmade is what counts.
INGREDIENTS:
- 3/4 cup margarine
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 1/4 cups plus 2 Tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 soda
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- Grated rind of one lemon
Glaze Ingredients
- Juice of one lemon
- 1/2 cup sugar
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350′ for metal pan, 325 for glass. Blend margarine and sugar and beat in eggs. Sift dry ingredients together and add to batter alternating with buttermilk. Mix well. Stir in grated lemon rind. Pour into 9″ x 5″ loaf pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at for 1 hour for metal pan and 1 hour 15min for glass pan.
While bread bakes, combine glaze ingredients, stirring lemon juice until sugar dissolves. When baked, remove bread from pan and pierce top with toothpick or cake tester all over. Spoon glaze over. Allow to cool before slicing! This freezes well folks.
TIP: If you don’t have buttermilk, add a little vinegar to regular milk and let sit for a few minutes.
