Glaze

Step 1
|
Prepare a 9" x 5" loaf pan by greasing and dusting with flour. Prepare glaze by mixing sugar and lemon juice. Set aside. The sugar will dissolve in the juice while the loaf bakes. If not, gently warm until the sugar dissolves. |

Step 2

Cream butter and sugar together. Beat in eggs. Mix the flour, salt and soda together. Add to batter alternating with the buttermilk. Stir in the lemon rind & nuts. |
Step 3
|
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for one hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the loaf to cool about 5 minutes in the pan. |

Step 4
|
As the loaf cools slightly, pierce the top of the loaf in several places and almost to the bottom. Pour the glaze over the top of the loaf. The glaze will top the loaf and seep into the soft interior, adding more of the lemon flavor. Cool loaf completely before slicing. Freezes well. |
