The recipe I do has a lemon sugar topping.
I didn't put this on here cos I didn't want the extra sugar, but feel free if you want to.
I think it's yummy anyway.

Preheat oven to 180°C. (350°F)

Grease and line 2 loaf tins.

Beat butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.

Mix in finely grated zest of two lemons

Sift dry ingredients, then add alternately with buttermilk, ensuring that a measure of dry ingredients are mixed in last to help prevent curdling.

Pour into loaf pans and bake for 1 hour or until loaves tested with a skewer inserted comes out clean. Check after 50 minutes. (mine took 53 minutes).

Put onto cake rack in tin and leave for 3 minutes then turn out into rack.

Topping: (if using)

Combine juice of the 2 lemons and sugar. Spoon over hot loaves, then leave to cool.

Enjoy!
