Recipe Introduction
(Yield: 2 loaves)
List of Ingredients
2 medium lemons
2 medium oranges
4 1/2 cups bread flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups butter or margarine
6 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sugar Recipe
Preheat oven to 350�F. Spray 2 9x5-inch loaf pans with non-stick vegetable spray.
From lemons: grate 2 tablespoons rind and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice.
From oranges: grate 2 tablespoons rind and squeeze 10 tablespoons juice.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in lemon and orange rinds. In a small bowl, combine eggs, milk, and 8 tablespoons orange juice; add to flour mixture, stirring until flour is just moistened. Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans; smooth tops.
Bake for 1 hour or until a tester inserted in the center of the loaves comes out clean. Remove from pans; cool completely on a wire rack.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring lemon juice, remaining orange juice and sugar to boiling. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Brush mixture evenly over tops of loaves.
