Quick Lemon Bread
The following recipe with exchanges are taken with permission from
Mrs. Bateman's
Cooking Lite for Life, her self-published 4-color cookbook. We thank them for their
contribution, but we caution that you count the carbohydrate grams, rather than looking at the
exchanges provided. On this site and in our Joslin cookbooks, we consider 15 grams to be 1
carbohydrate exchange.
(makes 10 servings)
|
1
|
cup Granulated SugarLike
|
|
1/2
|
cup ButterLike Baking Butter, softened
|
|
1/2
|
cup large egg whites, lightly beaten
|
|
1 1/2
|
cup all-purpose flour
|
|
1 1/2
|
teaspoon grated lemon peel
|
|
1/3
|
cup Granulated SugarLike
|
|
4 1/2
|
tablespoons fresh lemon juice
|
- In a large bowl, mix SugarLike, ButterLike, and egg whites until smooth. Add remaining
muffin ingredients and mix until flour is incorporated into batter. Pour batter into a
vegetable sprayed and floured 5- X 9-inch loaf pan.
- Bake in a 350°F oven 45 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in center comes
out clean.
- As soon as bread is done, prepare glaze. Leaving loaf in pan, use a long slender skewer
to poke numerous holes all the way to bottom of loaf.
- In a small pan, combine SugarLike and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring
constantly until SugarLike is dissolved. Remove from heat. Slowly drizzle over top of loaf so
that glaze soaks into bread. Let bread cool in pan on rack for 15 minutes, then turn out onto
rack to cool completely.
