Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Lemon
2 1/4 c Flour, all-purpose
1 1/2 ts Baking powder
3/4 ts Salt
1 1/2 c Sugar
3/4 c Butter
3 Eggs
3/4 c Milk
2 tb Sugar

From lemon, grate 1 tablespoon peel and squeeze 4 1/2
teaspoons lemon juice; set aside.

In large bowl with fork, mix flour, baking powder,
salt and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Cut in butter until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in peel.

In small bowl with fork, beat eggs slightly and stir
in milk; then stir this mixture into flour mixture
just until flour is moistened.

Spoon into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350F for 1 1/4
hours. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; remove
from pan.

Heat lemon juice over medium-high heat, stirring in 2
tablespoons sugar. Heat to boiling. Cook, stirring,
until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. With
pastry brush, brush sugar mixture evenly over top of
bread. Serve warm, or cool loaf completely to serve
later.

I've also made 3 small (3.5x6 inch) loaves with this
recipe, baked at 350F for 45 minutes.
