Directions
Old-Fashioned Lemon Bread, This is a wonderful bread that goes very well with tea I like this recipe over other lemon bread recipes I’ve found because the glaze is allowed to saturate the bread all the way through , Ive used this recipe for decades as its originally from a Sunset cookbook I always add vanilla to the batter Today I added fresh rosemary to the syrup as we love lemon rosemary anything , What an awesome loaf of lemon bread! I made a couple of very small changes I thought 1 teaspoon of baking powder was a little much for 1 1/2 cups of flour and I like using buttermilk in these kinds of recipes, so used 1/4 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 cup of buttermilk I also added 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to the batter per Kittencal’s suggestion I have an irrational fear of zesting, so I left out the rind I stirred the sugar in with the liquids and then added the flour mixture It took 50 minutes exactly, rose beautifully and had a nice rounded top I turned it out of the pan right away (it released like a dream) and put it on a foil covered rack, poked the holes and then poured the hot glaze over it When I sliced into it, it had a lovely texture Hey Jude, thanks for a fantastic recipe! It’s a keeper and I will be making it again!
