Our quick and easy version of a classic favorite. For a change,

try the Orange Ginger version.

Glaze:

3tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Bread:

cooking spray

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

2strips lemon zest/peel, 2 x 1/2-inch, bitter white pith removed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

3tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in 1/2-inch pieces

1large egg

2tablespoons fat free plain yogurt

1/3 cup unsalted, lightly toasted macadamia nuts

Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly coat a 7-1/2 x 3-3/4 x 2-1/4 -inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

Insert the metal blade. Place the flour, baking powder and salt in the work bowl and process 5 sec- onds; remove and reserve. Cut the lemon peel into 1-inch pieces and place in work bowl with 1/4 cup of the sugar. Process until zest is finely chopped about 1 minute. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and butter; process until creamy, 20 to 30 seconds. Add egg, process 10 seconds; scrape work bowl. Add yogurt; process 10 seconds – mixture will look slightly curdled. Spoon flour mixture then macadamia nuts over creamed mixture. Pulse until flour just disappears, 5 to 6 pulses. Do not over process. Spoon into prepared pan and level top. Bake in preheated 350° F oven for 35 to

40 minutes, until bread is light golden brown and a tester comes out clean when inserted in the center. While bread is baking, stir lemon juice and sugar for glaze together until sugar is dissolved. Spoon the glaze over the hot bread a little at a time, allowing the glaze to absorb before adding more. Let stand until glaze is completely absorbed, then remove from pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. This bread is actually better the second day. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap to store.

Orange Ginger Variation:

Use orange zest and orange juice in place of lemon. Substitute crystallized ginger that has been cut in 1/2-inch pieces for the nuts. For more orange flavor, add 1/3 teaspoon orange flower water (available in specialty food shops) to batter when adding yogurt.
