From lemon, grate 1 tablespoon peel and squeeze 4 1/2 teaspoons lemon
juice; set aside.
In large bowl with fork, mix flour, baking powder, salt and 1 1/2 cups
sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in peel.
In small bowl with fork, beat eggs slightly and stir in milk; then stir
this mixture into flour mixture just until flour is moistened.
Spoon into greased loaf pan. Bake at 350F for 1 1/4 hours. Cool in pan on
wire rack 10 minutes; remove from pan.

minutes. With pastry brush, brush sugar mixture evenly over top of bread.
Serve warm, or cool loaf completely to serve later.
