Lemon Bread
(Makes 2 loaves)
This is
so moist! The recipe calls what you pour over the top a "glaze", but
it's really more liquidy and it completely sinks into the bread.
Ingredients:
BREAD
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Grated rinds of 2 lemons
1/2 cup cooking oil

1 1/2 cups Egg Beaters or 12
egg whites (yes, that much!)
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts

1/3 cup granulated sugar (not
confectioner's)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

degrees.
