Blueberry streusel bread!


Is there anything better than the smell for blueberries cooking?

I was thinking this afternoon how good a blueberry muffin sounded... *yum*
And, then I had an Idea: what about blueberry streusel bread? I googled it, and found this recipe on a blog called "Spoolful Of Sugar". It looked so good that I HAD to make it.
Enjoy!

Ingredients:
4 tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups fresh blueberries

topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 tbsp butter, cut in pieces

Preheat the oven to 375 F. Grease a 9" square baking dish.

With an electric mixer, cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat to combine. Then mix in the milk until blended. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt and stir just enough to blend the ingredients. (The less stirring, the more tender your bread will be.) Add the blueberries and stir gently, trying to not break the blueberries.

Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread out evenly.

For the topping, place the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter in a mixing bowl. Cut in with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, which is about 45 minutes
