Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan with flour.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In another large bowl, whisk together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the lemon zest and juice, blending well.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until combined.
6. Toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them (preventing them from sinking during baking). Gently fold the coated blueberries into the batter, being careful not to overmix.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
8. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Enjoy!!
