Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg

  11. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra flavor, serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey. Fresh lemon zest can also be added to the batter for a bright twist.
