Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour for coating blueberries

Wet Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 9"x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper (or lightly grease with butter).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, blend together the melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
  • While slowly mixing, add flour mixture and milk in two batches. Stop mixing as soon as it's just combined.
  • Rinse off the blueberries and toss them with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent sinking.
  • Add the flour coated berries to the batter and gently stir by hand to combine.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Cool bread in the pan for about 30 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
  • Prepare glaze by whisking together melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla, then pour over the loaf.
  • Allow glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

If baking the day before serving, wrap cooled loaf in plastic wrap and store at room temperature without the glaze. Add glaze on the day of serving.
