INGREDIENTS :
- 2 c (256 grams) all-purpose flour (set aside 1/4 c of this to toss with the blueberries)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (I like 1.25 teaspoons)
- zest from 1 large lemon
- 1 Egg, room temperature
- 2 c fresh blueberries, picked over
- ½ c buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ c (8 tbsp | 4 ounces | 113 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 c (214 grams) sugar (set aside 1 tbsp for sprinkling)
DIRECTIONS :
- Prepare the oven and preheat it to 175 degrees C or 350 degrees F.
- Add sugar (minus 1 tbsp for later use) and lemon zest into the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until well incorporated.
- Add vanilla and egg, then beat again until well incorporated.
- In another bowl, add 1/4 cup of flour and blueberries. Toss to coat.
- In another bowl, add the rest of the flour, salt, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Transfer 1/2 of the flour mixture into the bowl with the batter and stir to combine. Stir in the buttermilk, blueberries, and flour.
- Apply cooking spray to the inside of an 8-inch square baking pan. You can also line it with parchment paper if you prefer.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved sugar on top.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 35 to 45 minutes or until done.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to rest at room temperature for a few minutes.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
- Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge.
- You can make this the night before. Just cover the batter and place it in the fridge. Bake it the next day.
- Make sure not to use frozen berries. They should be thawed completely.
