Old-Fashioned Lemon Bread

While it's still hot from the oven, you poke this loaf with a skewer until it 
is full of holes and then drizzle a sweet, lemony glaze over the top.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup salad oil
1 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel

1. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In a
small bowl, beat eggs, milk, oil, and lemon peel until blended. Add
egg mixture to flour mixture, stir just until blended.

2. Pour batter into a greased and floured 5 x 9 inch loaf pan. Bake
in a 350 oven until a skewer inserted in center comes out clean (40
to 45 minutes) Meanwhile, prepare Lemon Glaze. Leaving loaf in pan
use a long skewer to poke numerous holes all the way to bottom of
loaf. Slowly drizzle hot glaze over top.

3. Let bread cool in pan on a rack for 10 minutes; turn out onto
rack and let cool completely. Serve at room temperature. Makes 1
loaf (10 to 12 servings)

Lemon Glaze
In a small pan, combine 4 1/2 table spoons of lemon juice and 1/3 cup
sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is
dissolved. Remove from heat and keep warm.
