Tips
- 1Just reheat it in the oven when you're ready to serve it up.If you are not planning to serve it immediately, you can wrap it up and put it in the fridge.
- 2If you are using salted butter, you can disregard the 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
- 3Do not grate the inner part of the lemon peel, it will ruin the recipe and make it bitter.
- 4Then again, the name of the recipe would not be "lemon bread" anymore.If you don't have lemon, you can always use an orange.
- 5If you do not have any lemon or orange available, you can disregard the lemon peel, but it will not turn out as tasty as the original recipe.
Special Notes
- 1From one medium lemon, you can get 1 teaspoon of grated peel.
- 2The recipe does not call for any lemon juice, thus the lemon peel will give the recipe that lemon flavor.
