Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients
2-1/4 cups (270 g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon corn starch
zest of half a lemon
1 cup (150 g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Wet Ingredients
½ cup (113 g) melted butter
2 large eggs
½ cup (125 g) sourdough starter discard
¼ cup (60 g) sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1 teaspoon (5 g) vanilla extract
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Line bottom and long sides of a 9X5 loaf pan with parchment paper. Spray with cooking spray. Note: This makes a large loaf. Do not use a small loaf pan.
Mix dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, corn starch, lemon zest and salt with a fork. Add the blueberries and toss the mixture to coat. Set aside.
Mix wet ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, whisk all the wet ingredients until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. (If the batter is too stiff, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or milk to help thin it down.)
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Fill to approximately ¾ full. If there is excess use it to make yourself a muffin!
Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean. Begin testing at 45 minute mark. Let bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to cool on a cooling rack.
