A warm and comforting Southern dessert featuring sweet blueberries and a flaky crust, perfect for summer gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for crust)
- ½ cup sugar (for crust)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- ½ cup cold, cubed unsalted butter
- ½ cup milk (whole or buttermilk)
- Additional brown sugar (optional)
- Cinnamon & nutmeg (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Toss gently and let sit for 30 minutes.
