6 Tablespoons Butter, Softened, Plus Extra For Brushing On Top Of Loaf
1 cup Sugar
2 whole Eggs
1-1/2 cup Pastry (or Cake) Flour
1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoons Salt
1/2 cups Milk
1-1/2 cup Fresh Blueberries
1 Tablespoon Lemon, Rind
2 teaspoons Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice
1 Tablespoon Limoncello (optional)
Coarse Sugar, For Sprinkling On Top
_____
Glaze Ingredients
1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
3 Tablespoons Milk (more As Needed)
1 Tablespoon Freshly Squeezed Lemon Juice

1
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Stir in eggs and mix to combine.
2
In a separate bowl (or plastic bag), mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Stir or shake until well mixed.
3
Add the flour mixture gradually into the butter/egg mixture along with 1/2 cup milk.
4
Gently stir in blueberries, lemon rind, 2 teaspoons lemon juice and Limoncello. Do not over-mix or the bread will be tough. Over-mixing will also cause the blueberries to sink to the bottom of the bread and not be evenly distributed through it.
5
Pour batter into a greased loaf pan. Sprinkle the top with coarse sugar, if desired.
6
Bake at 350F for 50 to 60 minutes. Do not over-bake or bread will be dry.
7
While the bread is baking, make the glaze. Combine the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Add more milk if needed until it is of fairly thin consistency.
8
Remove bread from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Loosen bread from pan along the edges with a butter knife. Turn out and cool on a wire rack. Brush the top with some melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Drizzle the glaze onto the bread and enjoy!
