3/4 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 cups flour
4 eggs
1 cup milk
grated rind of 1 lemon

Beat shortening, sugar, eggs and lemon rind, add baking powder and milk. Stir in the flour and pour into two prepared loaf pans. Let it stand int he pans for 20 minutes. Bake for 1 hour at 325 degrees.

Glaze:
Squeeze the juice out of one lemon and add 1/2 cup sugar. Stir until mostly dissolved.

Place bread on a plate right after it comes out of the oven and spoon the glaze over the top. Let it cool then wrap in plastic wrap.
