Glazed Lemon Quick Bread

BREAD:
3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 1/2 c. sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 c. milk
1 c. oil
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
3 Tbl. lemon juice, fresh is best
2 Tbl. lemon zest, loosely packed
4 Tbl. butter, melted
GLAZE:
3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. lemon juice, fresh is best
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbl. melted butter
dash salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Into a large mixing bowl, place flour, salt, baking powder, sugar.  Whisk together.
In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, oil and vanilla.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir with a wooden spoon until the wet and dry ingredients are only half combined.  (You should still be able to see many streaks of flour.)
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest and melted butter and stir to combine completely making sure not to over mix.  Just stir until all of the flour is incorporated.
Line the bottom of 2 loaf pans with parchment paper and spray the edges with cooking spray.  Pour the batter into the pans.  Pop into the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Remove the pans and allow to sit for 5 minutes.  Remove bread from pans and place on wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
Whisk together the glaze ingredients.  While the loaves are still warm, brush the glaze along the bottom and sides of each loaf.  Pour remaining glaze over the top of the loaves, making sure to cover completely.
Allow to cool.

This recipe is from jamiecooksitup.net.  This lemon bread is delicious and I know many of our lemon loving family members are going to enjoy it!
