2 cups fresh blueberries
2 cups all purpose flour, divided

1.  Preheat oven to 350°.  Grease a 9" square baking pan with butter, or coat with nonstick cooking spray.

2.  Combine butter, lemon rind and 7/8 cup sugar in a mixing bowl.  Beat with an electric mixer at medium high speed until light and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla; beat until combined.

3.  Toss blueberries with 1/4 cup flour.  In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining 1 3/4 cup flour, baking powder and salt.

4.  add flour mixture to egg mixture a little at a time, alternating with buttermilk.  fold in blueberries.

5.  Spread batter in prepared pan.  Sprinkle batter with remaining 1 tablespoon sugar.  bake 35-45 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.  Let cool at least 15 minutes before serving.
