Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
5 cups blueberries
⅔ cup granulated sugar
2½ tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon lemon zest

Topping

1½ cups all purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter
½ cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a 9x9 inch baking dish in the oven.
In a large bowl, stir the blueberries, 2/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, and lemon zest. Spoon the mixture into the bottom of the baking dish on top of the butter.
Whisk the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Using a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until crumbly. Stir in the buttermilk just until moistened. Drop the dough by rounded spoonfuls onto the blueberries. Sprinkle with one tablespoon of sugar.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.

Notes

If you like nutmeg, add a couple of pinches for added flavor. Or try lemon zest for a little tang.
Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture. I always start by cutting my chilled butter into small cubes.
Mix the dough just until moistened, as over-mixing can make it tough.
Blueberries stain easily, so clean up spills and messes quickly.
