Tasty and so simple to prepare! A large bag of frozen blueberries was used, along with sugar and lemon zest. Cornstarch was then added, and the mixture was spread out in a buttered dish and slope game 2 .

Delicious and so easy to make! I used a big bag of frozen blueberries, tossed them with sugar and lemon zest, then mixed in the cornstarch and spread everything into a buttered dish. I was a little worried when the batter seemed thin, but it baked up perfectly. I also added cinnamon to the batter—so good! I love eating it while playing geometry dash.
