GLAZED LEMON LOAF
This is a
lovely loaf with a tender crumb texture and a tangy sweet-tart glaze. I hurriedly made this loaf today knowing my hubby was hungry and wanted to start the barbecue. I'd just cut his hair and he had showered and was sitting in front of his computer and I figured if I was quick, I'd get this loaf into the oven before he noticed - and sure enough, I just made it!
