Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add wet ingredients: Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk until smooth.
Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Step 3
Prepare the blueberries: Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour and gently fold them into the batter.
Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4
Make the yogurt lemon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Glaze the bread: Once the bread is cooled, drizzle or spread the yogurt lemon glaze over the top.
Cool and serve: Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before slicing and enjoying.
