Thursday, July 7, 2022

It doesn't get any better (or easier) than this! This is a classic warm-weather dessert that you can put together on a whim. Make a homemade batter elevated with a pinch of cinnamon and bright lemon zest, then pour into a buttered skillet. Scatter with an abundance of blueberries then sprinkle with turbinado sugar for a crispy top. Bake to golden goodness then top with a dollop of soft crème fraîche. The perfect for your next cookout or outdoor gathering!
