HOW TO MAKE BEST HOMEMADE LEMON BREAD
Step 1: Prepare the oven, Preheat it to 350 degrees, or 180 degrees celsius.
Step 2: And grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
Step 3: Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 1/4 cups of sugar in a large bowl. Add in the softened butter. Using a pastry blender, blend the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Then, stir in the lemon peel.
Step 4: Lightly beat the eggs in a small bowl using a fork. Add in the milk and blend until well combined. Mix this egg and milk mixture into the flour mixture and combine until the flour is moistened.
Step 5: Add the batter in the prepared greased loaf pan. Place inside the preheated oven and bake for an hour to an hour and 1/4 minutes. Insert a toothpick in the middle and once it comes out clean then it is done. Remove from the oven and let it cool to a wire rack.
Step 6: Place the 4 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat while stirring the mixture constantly until thickened. Once thickened, brush the syrup over the top of the bread using a pastry brush. Serve and enjoy!
