Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened blueberries
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1/4 cup shortening
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup milk
Whipped cream or ice cream (optional)

Steps:

In a buttered 8-inch square baking pan, combine blueberries, 1/4 cup of the sugar, and lemon rind. In a bowl, cream shortening with remaining 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in creamed mixture alternately with milk to make a smooth batter. Spoon over blueberries in pan and bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for about 40 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool slightly; turn out onto a serving plate. Cut in squares and serve warm or at room temperature, with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.;
