How To Make lemon almond tea bread

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 325'F. Prepare 2 loaf pans. (I sprayed mine with Pam)
  • 2
    Combine the butter and 1 cup sugar; blend well. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Add almond extract.
  • 3
    Sift together dry ingredients; add to egg mixture alternately with milk. Blend just enough to mix. Fold in lemon peel and nuts.
  • 4
    Turn into greased loaf pans (aluminum or glass). Bake in slow oven 325'F. for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. (If it isn't done in 35 minutes, just add 2 minutes at a time. My loaves today took 37 minutes total.)
  • 5
    Mix 6 Tbsp. of lemon juice and 1/2 -3/4 cup confectioners sugar. Immediately spoon over hot loaf in pan. Cool 10 minutes, then remove from pan. Cool on rack. Do not cut until completely cooled. Makes 2 loaves
