Time 55m

Yield 4 mini loafs, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup milk
1 cup butter, softened
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 tablespoon lemon juice (I use fresh squeezed)
3/4 tablespoon orange juice (I use fresh squeezed)
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease bottom only of 4 mini loaf pans (I buy the disposable foil ones for Farmer's Market use).
  • In a large mixer bowl combine all bread ingredients. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until all ingredients are mixed well; about three minutes total.
  • Pour into prepared pans.
  • Bake 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of loaf comes out clean.
  • Place bread on wire rack to cool.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together glaze ingredients.
  • Drizzle glaze over warm bread.
  • If you use regular metal bread pans, allow the bread to cool 10 minutes then loosen around the edge with a knife. Carefully tip the loaves over and remove bread from pans. Place them on the wire rack to cool completely.
