Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8×4 loaf pan. Melt the butter in a small pan.
Combine eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and zest and mix well then add butter. Stir completely.
Combine flour, baking powder, and salt, mix well. Add melted butter, milk, and stir together.
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake 60-70 minutes until toothpick placed in center comes out clean. Allow to cool an hour before removing from pan.
Mix together juice and sugar for glaze, apply to top of bread while still warm.
Notes
We substituted 1 cup of all-purpose flour for 1 cup self-rising flour.
Chopped nuts are optional. Toasted almonds would also fit well into the flavor profile of this bread.
