Ingredients

2 eggs
2 large spoonfuls butter at room temperature heaping tablespoons
½ cup milk
1 cup white sugar
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
1 lemon, zested save for juice
1 cup fresh blueberries

Citrus Glaze

1 lemon, juiced
½ cup white sugar

Instructions

Beat eggs, butter, milk and sugar.
Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Add to egg mixture. Beat well.
Zest lemon all over, yellow parts only. Add to batter and mix.
Gently stir in blueberries, saving a few for the top.
Pour into loaf pan fitted with parchment paper. Drop remaining blueberries on top.
Bake in preheated oven at 350° for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
While loaf is baking, squeeze juice from lemon. Add white sugar and stir. Allow to sit to let sugar dissolve. Once loaf has cooled for 5 minutes, drizzle with glaze over top evenly. You may find there is more than enough glaze for one loaf.

Notes

I use less than the full amount of glaze per loaf. It's enough to be shared between 2 loaves or save some to drizzle over slices if desired.

Nutrition information includes all the glaze and is based on cutting the loaf into 10 equal slices.
