  • 8" cast-iron skillet or 8x8", 9x9", or 10x10" baking dish

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup unsalted butter ½stick
  • 1¼ cups sugar divided
  • 1 cup self-rising flour

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  • Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the top.

Notes

See the video near the top of the blog post for visual guidance. If you liked the video, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. 
If you don't have self-rising flour, you can use regular all-purpose flour combined with 1/2 tsp of baking powder and 1/4 tsp of baking soda.
In place of blueberries, canned sour cherries in water are delicious, too. Don't drain the cherries, simply pour directly over the batter (without stirring) and then top with the 1/4 cup sugar. Bake for the same amount of time. 
Leftovers can easily be heated in the microwave. Leftovers will keep covered for several days on the counter and 1 week in the fridge.
