3 cups
fresh blueberries
1/2 lemon
1 1/8 c white sugar
4 1/2 T butter, softened
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 t baking powder
3/4 c milk
1 1/2 white sugar
3/4 t salt
1 1/2 T cornstarch
a pinch of ground cinnamon
3/4 c boiling water
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 11x7 inch baking dish.
- Spread the blueberries out to cover the entire bottom of the baking dish. Squeeze the juice from the lemon over them. In a medium bowl, stir together the butter and 1 1/8 cups sugar until smooth. Stir in flour and baking powder alternately with the milk until smooth. Batter will be thin. Spoon over the berries, and spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups of sugar, salt, and cornstarch. Sprinkle over the top of the batter. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon, then pour the boiling water over the entire dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.
