These are wonderful! I followed the advice of others and added the juice of the lemon to the buttermilk and used all the lemon zest of 1 lemon. I was afraid to knead, but don't be! The kneading makes them look nice and smooth, and they are not at all tough. I brought them to a friend from Scotland who gave them 2 thumbs up, and that's something!

For bread taste and quality I would give this five stars, but I too had trouble with the quantity in my 2lb bread machine. The first time I made it it cooked into the top. The next time I made it I reduced the portions from 12 to 8, and it was better, but still almost too much. Make sure to use the light setting. The crust is beautiful and flaky, almost like a croissant. Delicious!

I have made several good breads from this site. My husband survives on bread, and this is his favorite. I just used the regular 2 lb setting on my machine ( I use the timer and make it overnight so it's ready in the morning) and it came out perfectly. The setting is for 4 hours, and I'm not sure if all machines take that long. I was so confused about the measurements at first I went on Wikipedia, 18 T = 1 Cup + 2 T, as several people mentioned. I appreciate how simple the ingredients are! Nothing special is needed, and the bread is great!
