Lemon Tea Bread

This bread is so delicious that it melts in your mouth. Try it once and you will never be the same!

In a bowl, mix:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs

In another bowl, mix:
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

To the wet ingredients, add the dry, alternating between 1/2 cup milk and the dry. For some reason, this step is important. If you add the milk all at once or add the dry ingredients all at once, it does not turn out right.

Stir in 1 tbsp grated lemon rind.

Put in greased loaf pan (I like to line the bottom with parchement paper, just to make sure it is going to get out with no problems)

Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

Take out of pan and let cool. When you are ready to serve, mix...
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
spoon on top of bread
Mix 1 tbsp grated lemon rind and 1 tbsp sugar. Sprinkle on top of bread. Serve warm or room temp...delicious either way!
