Lemon Tea Bread

My mother once won a contest with the bread recipe. It is very good.

Cream butter and 2 cups of sugar with lemon rind.

Add the eggs and beat well.

Add dry ingredients alternating with milk.

Squeeze about 1 tbsp of juice from the lemon into batter for better flavor.

Bake in greased loaf pans in a 325 degree oven for 1 hour.

Mix 1 / 2 cup of sugar and juice from the remaining lemons.

Pour over bread while hot , then cool completely on a wire rack.
