Lemon Bread Recipe
This is an old-fashioned recipe which has been handed down to me, once you taste it you will understand why!
Bread
- 150 grams butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1½ cup flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup sour cream
- the rind of 2 lemons
Glaze
- ½ cup lemon juice
- ⅓ cup sugar
Preheat oven to 175 C. Prepared loaf tin by greasing it well and flouring it. I like getting a crispy edge so don't line with paper but if you are worried about it sticking , line it with baking paper.
Cream butter and sugar together, add eggs
Alternate between flour/baking powder mixture and sour cream and mix until just combined.
Add peel of lemons - this will give it is great lemon flavour. Stir to work into batter
Place in prepared loaf tin and bake in for 45 mins or until golden and skewer comes out clean.
Once cooked, then run fork on edges and tap the top of tin to loosen the bread . Set aside and prepare glaze
