Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh blueberries
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cut into small cubes)
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish and set it aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir until the blueberries are evenly coated and the mixture looks glossy. Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry mixture and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should look slightly shaggy.
Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the blueberry mixture, covering most of the surface but leaving some gaps to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
