Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 7 ounces fresh blueberries (about 2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk (or 1/2 cup milk mixed with 1/2 tbsp vinegar then allow to stand for 5 minutes room temp)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: If you are not using buttermilk, go ahead and mix your milk and vinegar together so it can sit for 5 minutes.

  • Step 2: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  • Step 3: In a medium bowl cream butter with sugar and lemon juice until light and fluffy. Blend in egg and vanilla, then the buttermilk (or milk/vinegar mixture)

  • Step 4: In a small bowl, combine salt, baking powder, and 1 3/4 cups flour. SLOWLY blend in the wet mixture until combined

  • Step 5: In a small bowl, coat blueberries with the 1/4 cup flour and then VERY GENTLY stir into dough (it's ok if you break a few)

  • Step 6: Press batter into a greased 8x8 or 9x9 inch square baking dish.

  • Step 7: Bake for about 40 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test.

  • Step 8: Let cool and store at room temperature!
