A sweet bread with a delicate lemon flavor and a pound-cake-like texture.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar.
3. Beat in eggs, lemon juice and zest.
4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and baking powder.
5. Pour dry ingredients and milk into the creamed mixture, alternating until combined.
6. Taste the batter and add more lemon juice and zest until you reach the desired level of lemony goodness. (Sometimes you want to pucker and sometimes you want it to be sweet.)
7. Pour batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for 50 minutes until edges are golden brown or until it passes the toothpick test.

I made this to go with the wild blueberry lemon french toast, and have to say while good it was a little heavy for my taste. Also may need to do some adjusting with the amount of lemon. I was hesitant to taste test the batter once it had egg as I was using commercial eggs and don’t trust them like I do the farm fresh ones. All in all though, a fun quick bread!

Disclaimer: It says “Tea” in the title but there is no actual tea in the recipe. It refers more to the kind of bread you would serve at tea time.
