Description
A delightful Southern-style dessert featuring a flaky crust and juicy blueberries, capturing the essence of summer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Lemon juice (optional, for the filling)
- Spices like cinnamon and nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather a baking dish—an 8×8 inch square or deep pie dish works wonderfully.
- Combine blueberries with sugar and a squirt of lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Incorporate chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add milk to form a slightly thick but pourable batter.
- Pour the batter into the greased baking dish evenly. Spoon the berry mixture over the top.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling bubbles.
- Cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Let berries macerate for robust flavor. Use cold butter for a flaky crust. Don’t overbake; aim for a light golden crust.
