Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, unsalted
• 2 teaspoons lemon zest or more, from 1 large lemon
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, fresh
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup lowfat buttermilk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Cream butter with lemon zest and 7/8 cup of the sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Meanwhile, toss the blueberries with ¼ cup of flour. In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt.

Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time, alternating with the buttermilk. Fold in the blueberries.

Grease a 9-inch square baking pan (or something similar) with butter or coat with non-stick spray. Spread batter into pan. Sprinkle batter with remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake for 35 minutes.

Check with a toothpick for doneness. If necessary, return pan to oven for a couple of more minutes. (Note: Baking for as long as 10 minutes more might be necessary.) Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
