Ingredients

• 2 tbs. butter

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 ½ cups flour

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Melt the butter in a 9 inch pan. Brush the bottom and sides of the pan with the butter, and sprinkle 2 tbs. brown sugar into the butter on the bottom of the pan. Stir the sugar into the butter to evenly distribute. Evenly scatter the blueberries over the butter/sugar mixture.

Stir the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together. Beat the butter until creamy, gradually add the sugar and beat until the mixture resembles creamy whipped butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each additional. Beat in the extract. On low speed add the flour mix alternately with them milk. Repeat ending with the flour, beating just until the mixture is blended well. Spoon the batter over the berries and bake for 40 – 45 minutes.
