- parchment paper
- medium bowl
- electric mixer
- small bowl
-
1Preheat oven to 350Β°F and line a 9"x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper (or lightly grease with butter).
-
2In a medium bowl , whisk the all-purpose flour , baking powder and salt , and set aside.
-
3Massage the lemon zest with the granulated sugar
-
4Beat the lemon sugar mixture with the eggs until light and fluffy.
-
5In the bowl of an electric mixer , blend together the melted unsalted butter and lemon sugar and egg mixture. Mix until well combined.
-
6Add thee vanilla , and lemon juice to the whole milk .
-
7While slowly mixing, add flour mixture and milk mixture in two batches (some flour, then some milk, then the rest of the flour and the rest of the milk). Stop mixing as soon as it's just combined.
-
8Rinse off the frozen blueberries (if using fresh) so they have just a bit of moisture on them, then, in a small bowl toss the blueberries and 1 Tbsp all-purpose flour . This flour coating will help prevent the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of your loaf while baking.
-
9Add the flour coated berries to the batter and gently but quickly stir, by hand, to combine.
-
10Immediately pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 55 to 65 minutes , or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool bread in the pan for about 30 minutes , then move to a wire cooling rack with a baking sheet below (to catch the glaze you're about to add).
-
11Prepare glaze by simply whisking together the melted unsalted butter , confectioners' sugar , lemon juice and vanilla , then pour glaze over the loaf. Allow to set a few minutes, then enjoy!
