1 c sugar
3 T lemon extract
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 1/2 c all-purpose flour
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
1/2 c milk
2 T freshly grated lemon peel
1/2 c chopped pecans
Glaze
1/4 c fresh lemon juice
1/2 c sugar
In a large bowl, mix butter with sugar, lemon extract and eggs. In separate bowl (or on waxed paper). Sift flour with baking powder and salt. To butter mix, add flour alternately with milk, stirring just enough to blend. Fold in lemon peel and pecans. Pour batter into greased and floured 9x5" loaf pan, bake at 350 for 1 hour or till a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from pan and with the toothpick poke holes at 1" intervals on all sides. While still warm, drizzle lemon glaze mix over top and sides. Wrap in foil, store for 1 day before slicing to serve.
Perfect snack for company or just yourselves.
