When we were in Charleston last my mom made this delicious blueberry breakfast cake for us and it was so good! This would be perfect for a holiday weekend or if you have guests in town. For a little extra sweet kick, drizzle it with warm organic maple syrup, but it’s great without it too.
I always make my own buttermilk instead of buying some from the grocery (since I’ll never use all of that). It’s super easy and made with ingredients that you usually already have at home. To do so, put 1 tbsp of lemon juice or vinegar in a liquid measuring cup. Fill the cup with milk until you reach the 1 cup marker. Let it sit for 5 minutes. For this recipe make sure and use only a 1/2 cup of the 1 cup made.

I can contest that this is really a delicious breakfast dish to share with family/friends. Blueberries are in season now so just another excuse to buy more!
This looks so delicious! (and I’m officially starving…)
