Ingredients

Batter:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest about 1 lemon
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice about 1 lemon
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter

Blueberry filling/topping:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries about 1 pint
  • 3 tablespoon granulated sugar separated - 1 tablespoon tossed with the blueberries, 2 tablespoon to sprinkle on top

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350℉.
  • In your mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest. Work these together with your hands until fragrant - this infuses the sugar with the lemon zest.
  • To the same mixing bowl with the lemon sugar, add the flour, light brown sugar, salt, baking powder and whisk together until combined.
  • To the flour mixture, add the milk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice - whisk to until smooth.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine the blueberries with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar.
  • Once your oven is preheated to 350℉ place the 6 tablespoon of butter in your cast iron skillet and place the skillet into the oven to melt the butter.
  • Once the butter is melted, take the skillet out of the oven, pour in the batter, smooth it to the edges.
  • Top with the blueberries and sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoon granulated sugar evenly over the top.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown. 

Notes

  • This can also be made in an 8x8 baking dish 
  • You can sub frozen blueberries
