Lemon Balm Blueberry Tea Bread

Lemon Balm Blueberry Tea Bread

1/2 C. sugar

1/3 C. flour

4 Tbsp. butter, softened

1 tsp. grated lemon zest

1 tsp. lemon balm, dried

3/4 C. sugar

1/2 C. milk

4 Tbsp. butter, softened

1 egg

2 C. flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1–2 C. of blueberries

1 Tbsp. grated lemon zest

 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 9×5 loaf pan. Stir the topping ingredients together in a small bowl until smooth, set aside. In a medium bowl, stir the sugar, milk, butter and egg together until smooth. In another bowl, toss the flour with the baking powder and salt. Stir this into the wet ingredients, and then fold in the blueberries and lemon zest. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with the topping. Bake until the topping is deep golden and has formed a thick crust, about 50 minutes or so. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.  Enjoy!
