Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick), softened
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp orange zest
  • 1 1/2 cup sifted, all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cup blueberries
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)

Method

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream 1/4 cup butter with 3/4 cup sugar until light and airy.
  • Blend in the egg and orange zest.
  • In another bowl, sift together 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Add flour mixture alternately with milk to the creamed mixture mixture.
  • Gently fold in blueberries.
  • Batter will be stiff.
  • Pour into a greased 8x8-inch pan.
  • I use my old trusty cast iron skillet though.
  • To make the topping, combine the remaining sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a small bowl.
  • Cut in butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  • Sprinkle over batter in the pan.
  • Bake in 375 oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Place the pan on a rack to cool.
  • Cut and serve warm.
