Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting blueberries)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar (optional, for glaze)
- 1.5 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (optional, for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, mix together the milk, melted unsalted butter, egg, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the batter.
Fold the floured blueberries gently into the batter until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the tea bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If adding the optional glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled bread.
Slice and serve your Blueberry Lemon Tea Bread. Enjoy!
