Ingredients
-
1/2 cup Land O Lakes® Butter, room temperature
-
1 cup white sugar
-
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
-
2 large eggs
-
1 1/2 cups flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup milk
-
1 cup blueberries (frozen, no thawing required)
-
Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt (for topping)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
-
Mix Part One: Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and eggs, mixing well.
-
Mix Part Two: Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and milk until just combined. Gently fold in the blueberries.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
-
Bake for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf springs back when touched.
-
Let cool before slicing. For an extra treat, top with Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil and Sea Salt.
-
Enjoy warm or chilled for a firmer texture!
Notes
-
For a cleaner slice, refrigerate the bread before cutting; it becomes denser and easier to slice.
-
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries (no need to thaw if using frozen). If using frozen, be gentle when folding them into the batter to prevent color bleeding.
-
For a twist, top with a light lemon glaze or powdered sugar.
