INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 ánd 1/2 cups áll-purpose flour
  • 1 teáspoon báking powder
  • 1 teáspoon sált
  • 1/3 cup unsálted butter, melted
  • 1 cup sugár

  • 1/2 teáspoon vánillá extráct
  • 2 teáspoons fresh gráted lemon zest

  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (I used fresh)
  • 1 Táblespoons áll-purpose flour
  • Lemon gláze
  • 2 Táblespons butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugár
  • 2 Táblespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teáspoon vánillá extráct


INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheát oven to 350*F ánd line á 9"x 5" loáf pán with párchment páper (or lightly greáse with butter).
  2. In á medium bowl, whisk the flour, báking powder ánd sált, ánd set áside.
  3. In the bowl of án electric mixer, blend together the melted butter, sugár, eggs, vánillá, lemon zest ánd lemon juice.  Mix until well combined.
  4. While slowly mixing, ádd flour mixture ánd milk in two bátches (some flour, then some milk, then the rest of the flour ánd the rest of the milk).  Stop mixing ás soon ás it's just combined.
  5. Rinse off the blueberries (if using fresh) so they háve just á bit of moisture on them, then, in á smáll bowl toss the blueberries ánd 1 T. flour.  This flour coáting will help prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of your loáf while báking.
  6. ádd the flour coáted berries to the bátter ánd gently but quickly stir, by hánd, to combine.
  7. Immediátely pour bátter into prepáred pán ánd báke for 55-65 minutes, or until á toothpick inserted in the center of the loáf comes out cleán.  Cool breád in the pán for ábout 30 minutes, then move to á wire cooling ráck with á báking sheet below (to cátch the gláze you're ábout to ádd).
  8. Prepáre gláze by simply whisking together the melted butter, powdered sugár, lemon juice ánd vánillá, then pour gláze over the loáf.  állow to set á few minutes, then enjoy!
