This is an original New England recipe passed down for generations. (New twist with the canned blueberries). Blueberries are good brain food. Eat plenty to keep you sharp as a tack!
1 cup blueberries, fresh or canned (drain if canned)
6 Tbsp. shortening
1 cup of sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup of milk
1 3/4 cup of flour
1 tsp of salt
2 3/4 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. vanilla
Mix the sugar and shortening together until smooth.
Add eggs.
Sift dry ingredients together, saving a little flour to dust the blueberries before adding them.
Add flour and milk alternately to the sugar and shortening mixture.
Add vanilla: mix well.
Dust the berries with flour saved for that purpose: fold into mixture gently.
Pour into 9 x 9 inch pan.
Cover with topping made of 1/3 cup of sugar, 1 Tablespoon cinnamon and 1 1/2 Tablespoons margarine.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
