Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake

I took this to Bible study yesterday.  They loved it.

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 cup chopped pecans, opt.

Streusel Topping

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cold butter

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.  Whisk the egg, milk and butter; stir into dry ingredients.  Fold in blueberries and pecans.  Spread into a greased 9-inch square baking pan.

For topping, combine sugar and flour in a bowl; cut in butter until crumbly.  Sprinkle over batter.  Bake at 375 degrees for 35 – 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool on a wire rack.

** If using frozen blueberries, use without thawing to avoid discoloring the batter.

Makes 9 servings.
