4 tbsp. butter, melted plus more for souffle dish
1/3 c. plus 3 tbsp light brown sugar

1/4 c. cake flour (not self-rising)
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 large egg

Heat oven to 350°F. Butter a 1 quart, 5 1/2 inch diameter souffle dish. Pour 2 Tbsp. melted butter into the souffle dish. Sprinkle 3 Tbsp. brown sugar over butter. Scatter 1 c. blueberries over sugar. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. In another medium bowl, whisk together remaining 2 Tbsp. butter, remaining 1/3 c. brown sugar and the egg.
