Blueberry Lemon Bread



This bread is sooo addictive. I have to have people around to share it with when I make it, or I end up eating way too much. (Come from Favorites cookbook)

1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 cup milk
1 cup blueberries

3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup sugar
  1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Beat butter with 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy in a second bowl.
  3. Add eggs one at a time; beat well after each one.
  4. Add lemon juice.
  5. Add flour mixture to butter mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour mix.
  6. Sprinkle blueberries with small amount of flour to prevent them sinking to the bottom of the bread.
  7. Fold blueberries into batter.
  8. Spoon batter into greased and floured loaf pan.
  9. Bake at 325 for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  10. Place on wire rack to cool slightly.
  11. Bring lemon juice and 1/3 cup sugar to a boil.
  12. Pierce loaf. Spoon mixture over loaf. Let stand in pan 1 hour to cool.

I am definitely making this once we go pick blueberries this summer! :) In fact, I have a ton left in the freezer that I might need to bring out soon... This looks great!
