Blueberry Lemon Bread
Blueberry Lemon Bread is a moist, tender loaf featuring fresh blueberries suspended in a lemon-flavored batter made with butter, sugar, lemon juice and zest, eggs, and vanilla. The bread has a balanced sweetness with bright citrus notes and a soft crumb, achieved by folding blueberries tossed with cornstarch to prevent sinking before baking in a buttered loaf pan.
