Let's be honest--most of us know that fresh-baked coffee cakes, muffins and blueberry desserts are the way into just about anyone's good graces! For that reason, and because we can't resist a recipe that features our favorite fruit, we decided to give this 1954 Pilsbury Bake-Off original recipe a try with Blueberry Haven's frozen blueberries in Tiffany's kitchen.

Add a cute apron, pearls and a little red lipstick and you're transported back into the 1950's! However, whether you're a fan of high heels or running shoes, this tasty dessert doesn't discriminate. Follow the recipe below to cook it up yourself and win someone's heart!

Yields1 Serving

2 cups Flour

1.50 cups Sugar

⅔ cup Butter or Margerine

2 tbsp Double Acting Baking Powder

1 tsp Salt

2 Unbeaten Egg Yolks

1 cup Milk

2 Egg Whites

1 cup Frozen or Fresh Blueberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Sift together flour and sugar.

Then cut in butter until it is the size of small peas. Reserve 3/4 cup of this mixture for crumb topping!

Then, add to the remaining mixture:
Baking soda, salt, unbeaten egg yolks, and milk.

Beat for 3 minutes with electric mixer at low speed! Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold gently and thoroughly into batter.
Spread into greased 12"x8"x2" pan.

Place 1 cup of blueberries over batter. Sprinkle with crumb mixture. Serve warm as a coffe cake, or cold with whipped cream.

This recipe was originally from the 1954 Pilsbury Bake-Off and was then featured in MidCenturyMenu.com! We had to give it a try because of our love of blueberries, and BOY was it worth it.

This blueberry boy bait could snag anybody! 😉
