    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    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.
