Ingredients

• 2 cups white sugar

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons baking powder
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix boiling water and butter for bread in a small bowl; set aside until butter has melted and mixture has cooled, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease two 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pans.

Step 3

Combine blueberries and 2 tablespoons flour in a bowl; toss to coat. Sift remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.

Step 4

Add sugar, orange juice, cooled butter mixture, lemon juice, and eggs to the flour mixture; mix until well combined. Fold in flour-dusted blueberries. Divide batter and pour into the prepared loaf pans.

Step 5

Combine sugar, flour, softened butter, and cinnamon for topping in a small bowl. Mix with a fork until combined and crumbly. Sprinkle on top of the 2 loaves.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes.
