- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1 cup milk

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, and lemon zest. Stir gently to coat the blueberries in sweetness.

- Pour the batter into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Spoon the blueberry mixture carefully over the batter, allowing the berries to sit gently on top.
