This favorite blueberry quick bread recipe from The Darby Field Inn in Conway, New Hampshire, can be doubled or halved to suit your needs and is easy to customize. Try Strawberry-Orange Bread, for example, using fresh strawberries and 1 cup orange juice in place of 1 cup milk. If you use bananas for the fruit, reduce the liquid by a half cup.

Yield:

Makes 2 large or 5 small loaves

Ingredients

5 cups white flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter (6 ounces)
4 eggs
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups blueberries
1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

For blueberry bread, sift flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar together.

Cut butter into flour mixture as you would when making pie dough.

In a separate bowl, thoroughly blend eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add blueberries and nuts if desired. (If you use frozen blueberries, it’s better not to defrost them before adding to liquid ingredients.)

Grease bread loaf pans: five 6-1/2×3-inch or two 9×5-inch.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and blend together thoroughly but quickly.

Pour batter into pans and put immediately into a preheated 350 degrees F oven. Bake for 60-80 minutes.
