Ingredients:

  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the 1/2 cup of unsalted butter directly into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Place the dish in the oven to melt the butter until it is melted and slightly foamy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk and vanilla extract, whisking until the batter reaches the consistency of thick heavy cream.
  3. Remove the hot baking dish from the oven. Pour the batter directly over the melted butter, but do not stir the mixture.
  4. Toss the blueberries with lemon juice, cinnamon, and the remaining 2 tbsp of sugar. Gently scatter the fruit over the top of the batter. Do not stir.
  5. Bake for 45 minutes until the crust is mahogany-colored and the blueberry juices are thick and bubbling. The center should be set and springy.
