1/2 cup softened butter 125 mL
1 cup granulated sugar 250 mL
2 eggs 2
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 375 mL
1/4 tsp salt 1 mL

Grated rind of one lemon
1/2 cup milk 125 mL
1/2 cup wild blueberries, fresh 125 mL or frozen

Topping:
1/4 cup granulated sugar 50 mL

Add flour mixture alternately with milk to the butter mixture, blend until smooth. Fold in blueberries, if using frozen blueberries dust lightly with all-purpose flour.
