Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

Add the melted butter, white sugar, eggs, and lemon juice to a large bowl. Whisk by hand or with an electric mixer on low until smooth.

Step 3

Stir the flour, salt, and baking powder in a separate bowl until well blended.

Step 4

Add 1/3 of the flour to the egg mixture and stir gently until mostly combined.

Step 5

Add 1/2 of the milk and stir again until mostly combined.

Step 6

Repeat with 1/3 of the flour followed by the rest of the milk, whisking by hand or with an electric mixer on low. Stop mixing when no streaks of flour are visible.

Step 7

Toss the blueberries, lemon zest, and chopped walnuts (if using) in the last 1/3 of the flour, then gently stir it into the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Cool in the tin for 10 minutes while you make the lemon glaze.

Step 10

Mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. Mix until smooth.

Step 11

Add more powdered sugar as needed until it's thick but pourable.

Step 12

Take the bread out of the pan and pour over the glaze.

Step 13

Leave the bread to cool completely, then serve and enjoy.
