Recipe Needs Help!

A  friend sent this recipe to me last month, thinking I'd like to bake it because we love anything lemon flavored!  I should have studied it more because it lacked some instructions! 

Here is exactly what she sent:

LEMON BREAD


INGREDIENTS:

1 tablespoon grated lemon peel zest from 1 lemon

4 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice (I used 1 medium lemon) 

2 1/4 cups flour 

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 

3/4 teaspoon salt 

1 1/4 cups + 2 tablespoons sugar 

3/4 cup butter softened 

3 eggs (large)

3/4 cup milk 

INSTRUCTIONS:

Pre-heat oven to 350°, grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and 1 1/4 cups sugar, add the softened butter and with a pastry blender. blend until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the lemon peel.

In a small bowl add eggs and beat lightly with a fork add milk and mix until combined, then pour this mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until flour is moistened.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Nowhere does it say when or where the lemon juice is to go into a mix.
  • Nowhere does it say how long to bake it in the oven.
  • And....It should have said to grease AND flour the loaf pan. It stuck - really badly.

I just added the juice into the egg and milk mixture and thought it should bake for about 60 minutes. 


End result - delicious and will slice when cold. It is a bit crumbly. All done by hand - no mixers used.

In the meantime, "Beatrice" my Raku pot is keeping warm on the stove. She sure is pretty!

    ...your pot is gorgeous. And the photo/lighting is perfect.

    The lemon loaf looks delicious tho, even if recipe lacked instructions.

    1. Wish you could see the pot in person! Photo doesn't do it justice. Stop in - I'll share lemon bread.
