Lemon Bread

6 Tbs Crisco shortening
1 c white sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c milk
1.5 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1.5 c GF flour mix (from Bete Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet)
1 tsp xanthum gum
1 tsp lemon juice
grated rind of one lemon

Cream the shortening and sugar together. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and bake in a loaf pan for one hour at 350o or until a toothpick comes out clean.

For a glaze for the bread, heat 1/4 c sugar together with the juice from one lemon until the sugar is dissolved. Allow the glaze to cool. Brush the glaze over the bread while the bread is still hot.
