1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 pinch dried cinnamon

In a large deep saucepan, boil blueberries, sugar, ginger and water for 5 minutes.
In a medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder; mix in butter with fingers or pastry blender.
Add milk and stir until a uniform batter is formed.
To prepare dough in a food processor: place flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and baking powder into bowl of food processor and mix for a few seconds; add butter and pulse a few times to blend; add milk while machine is running and stop the motor as soon as dough shapes into a ball around knife blade.
