This is a great recipe to serve with Mother's Day Brunch! I am going to use a few of my teapots and place flowers from my garden in them as a centerpiece. China and pretty cloth napkins will also add to this special day for Mom!


Lemon-Blueberry Tea Loaf
Ingredients:

* 1/2 cup butter, softened
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
* 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

* 1/2 cup milk
* 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries


Glaze/Topping

* 1/4 cup Confectioner's Sugar

In a small bowl, cream butter and granulated sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon peel. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Fold in blueberries.

In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar and lemon juice until smooth; drizzle over warm bread. Yield: 1 loaf.
