Blueberry Lemon Bread with Lemon Glaze
Ingredients:
– 1½ cups all-purpose flour, plus 1 additional tablespoon
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons lemon zest
– 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
– ½ cup milk
– 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
3. In another large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then lemon zest and juice until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the flour mixture, mixing just until combined.
6. Stir the blueberries into 1 tablespoon of flour (this step prevents the blueberries from falling to the bottom of the loaf during baking). Gently fold in the coated blueberries, taking care not to overmix.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
