Florida Orange Bread

This is a wonderful compliment to breakfast. Since it is not too sweet, it makes a lovely addition when served with dinner as well. Use only the freshest Florida orange juice...of course!

ingredients

5 tbsp butter
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp grated orange rind
1 cup orange juice
2 cups flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

directions

Cream butter and gradually add sugar. Add the beaten egg and grated orange rind. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the orange juice and flour mixture alternately to the buterr mixture. Mix thoroughly and put in a greased 4.5 X 8.5 loaf pan. Let stand 20 minutes before baking. Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake for 55-60 minutes.
