-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 tablespoon unsalted butter -- softened
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour -- plus more
for the pan, 9 oz
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon table salt
1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs -- at room temperature
2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter -- melted and cooled, (4 oz)
sanding sugar -- for topping
Pungent ginger adds a spicy twist to this tender quickbread, which
tastes like a big blueberry muffin. It's the perfect breakfast treat
when blueberries are at their summer peak.
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to
350F. Butter and then flour the bottom and sides of a 6-cup (8-1/2 x
4-1/2" or 9 x 5") loaf pan, tapping out any excess flour.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Whisk until well blended.
Stir in the blueberries.
In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, ginger, and vanilla.
Whisk until blended.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients.
Add the melted butter.
Using a silicone spatula, gently fold until blended.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the sanding sugar evenly over the batter.
Bake, rotating halfway through, until the top is golden and a wooden
skewer or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes.
Let cool in the pan on a rack for 30 minutes.
Invert the bread and remove the pan, turn the bread right side up,
and let cool completely.
Store, covered, at room temperature for up to 2 days.
