1/2 pint of milk.
1 gill of sugar.
2 heaped teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
2 tablespoonfuls of butter.
1/2 teaspoonful of salt.
1 egg.
1/2 pint of blueberries.
Mix the baking powder, sugar, and salt with the flour, and rub through a sieve. Rub the butter into this mixture. Beat the egg till light, and add the milk to it. Add this to the dry ingredients, and beat well. Now add the berries, stirring as little as possible. Spread the mixture in a well buttered shallow baking pan, having it about an inch and a half thick. Bake in a moderately hot oven for about twenty-five minutes. Serve hot.
The batter may be put in buttered muffin tins, and baked for about twenty minutes. This will fill twelve muffin cups.
