Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Swear by the Tesco brand; it’s always reliable
  • 1 tsp baking powder Don't overdo it, or you’ll get a crazy dome on the bread
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda This is the secret that adds a little extra lift
  • 1/2 tsp salt I use sea salt; it gives it just the right kick
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened Works just as well with margarine, if you’re out of butter
  • 3/4 cup sugar Opt for a bit less sugar if you’re feeling virtuous
  • 2 large eggs Large ones help with volume
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Easier to find the cheap stuff at the local store
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt Or sour cream if you’re feeling like a rebel
Main Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries Toss in flour if using frozen
  • 1 lemon zest Optional, adds a fresh zing

  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until fluffy and creamy.

  5. Stir in the Greek yogurt until well incorporated.
  6. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet mix.
  7. Fold in the blueberries gently to avoid bursting them.
