Lemon-Blueberry Bread
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing the pan
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced (about 3 tablespoons of each)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 confectioners' sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 4-by-8-by-2-inch loaf pan.
- Toss the blueberries in 2 tablespoons of the flour in a medium bowl and set aside.
- Beat together the butter, granulated sugar, eggs, lemon zest and lemon juice in the bowl of an electric mixer.
- Sift together the baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and remaining 1 1/2 cups flour in a medium bowl.
- Add the flour mixture and milk to the butter mixture in alternating batches, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Fold in the pecans and blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour 10 minutes.
- Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack.
- For the glaze: Stir together 2 tablespoons lemon juice with the confectioners' sugar in a small bowl until completely smooth.
- Reserve the remaining lemon juice for another use.
- Drizzle the glaze over the top of the loaf while it is still warm, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Serve the loaf warm or at room temperature.
