Ingredients
- 3 cups (750 ml) blueberries, fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups (375 ml) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (60 ml) sugar
- 2 tsp (10 ml) baking powder
- ¼ tsp (1.25 ml) salt
- 4 tbsp (60 ml) cold butter, diced
- ½ cup (125 ml) milk
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9.5 in (24 cm) round pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, the maple syrup and the cinnamon. Stir to combine. Transfer to the round pie plate.
- Prepare the batter. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the butter in using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs. Slowly add the milk and stir just until combined. The batter will be thick. Spread the batter over the blueberry mixture. It won’t cover completely.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is slightly golden. Serve warm, with a scoop of ice cream if desired.
