Citrus Glazed Blueberry Bread
Nothing reminds us it is summer time more than a fresh loaf of blueberry bread. This particular bread uses some fresh lemon juice to balance the blueberries and is topped with a glaze made from fresh citrus.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup butter; melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- juice from 1/2 fresh lemon
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- zest from 1/2 fresh lemon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup fresh (or frozen) blueberries
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8 X 4 inch loaf pan.
- In a batter bowl, beat the butter, sugar, lemon juice and eggs.
- In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Stir in (by hand with a whisk) one half of the flour mixture into the egg mixture then stir in 1/4 cup of milk. Repeat this step with the remaining flour mixture and milk.
- Bake in preheated oven for 55-65 min until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool bread for 10 min in pan and then turn onto a cooling rack for 15-20 min.
**To make a citrus glaze take 2 tablespoons of citrus juice of your choosing (lemon, lime, orange etc). You can combine 2 or 3 different juices here if you choose. (lemon and lime go smashingly together) Mix in 1/4 cup of granulated sugar with 2 tbsp of citrus juice and drizzle this over the top of the warm bread.
