 Blueberry season is mostly over - but you can still find  some at markets, or more easily, in the frozen food  section of your local supermarket. And what's better  than a nice blueberry pie? This is a simple version - no  need for pastry. You just whip up a base, and scatter  the berries on top. And yes, you can use frozen  blueberries, no need to thaw them first. (Suits lazy  people like myself.) The result: a crispy yet chewy crust  with berries running into interesting patterns on top.  Serve with vanilla sauce or ice cream

125 g butter
 225 g sugar
 140 g flour
 1,5 tsp baking powder
 1 egg
 200 g blueberries

 Preheat the oven to 175°C. Melt the butter and let it cool a bit. Beat egg and sugar until fluffy. Add the  butter, and beat to incorporate. Add the flour and the baking powder, and stir until batter is uniform. Spread  into a greased pie dish, and scatter the berries on top. Bake, low in the oven, for about an hour. Take care  so it won't burn!
