Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp (10g) baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (114g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg (50g)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) whole milk
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (225g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 tbsp (8g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp (2g) lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour until lightly coated; set these aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, cream the softened butter with the egg, sour cream, milk, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth.
  5. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients using a spatula, stopping as soon as no streaks of flour remain.
  6. Gently fold in the floured blueberries and lemon zest.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the crust is deep golden brown.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
