1 tbsp baking powder

1⁄2 tsp salt

2 tbsp sugar

Directions

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the mascarpone and buttermilk until no lumps remain.

3. Add wet ingredients to the dry mix and bring dough together. Add the frozen BC blueberries but mix only until the ingredients have been brought together (do not over work the dough).

6. Bake at 375F for 15-18 minutes. Enjoy!
