Its very sweet but butter helps balance it out when your eating it. I made two loafs and 6 or so rolls if I make again I will just pour all the batter into the two loaf pans to make the loafs bigger. It was a little dry. I had fun making it. Not sure if we will make again undecided. Thanks for a simple recipe!

So tasty, very sweet with a touch of citrus. I'm a little intimidated by bread but this came out beautifully. Mine was done a tad early. Good with Sweet Potato Puffs #16663, which also has some citrus. Serve with a salad with clementines and some leftover lemon chicken and you have a citrus feast. :)
