Grandma’s Canadian Lemon Bread

Grandma’s Canadian Lemon Bread
(makes 2 small loaves)

½ cup shortening

1 ¼ cup sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups flour

½ cup milk

2 eggs, beaten

Grated rind & juice of 1 lemon

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Blend shortening and eggs in a bowl. Reserve ¼ cup sugar, and sift remaining 1 cup of sugar with baking powder, salt and flour. Add to egg mixture along with milk and mix well.

2. Stir in grated lemon peel and pour into 2 small greased loaf pans. Bake for 45-60 minutes. Bread is done if top springs back when lightly depressed or toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

3. Combine lemon juice with remaining ¼ cup of sugar and mix well. Spoon lemon glaze slowly over hot lemon bread so glaze will soak into cake. Cool completely. Slice thin and serve with butter. Bread may be stored in freezer for several months before use.

(Double wrap in plastic wrap and then foil if storing in freezer.)
