2 c. sugar
2 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 c. butter-flavored shortening
1 1/2 c. self-rising flour
1/3 c. milk
3 c. fresh blueberries
1/2 c. butter
Vanilla ice cream or frozen whipped topping, thawed

Combine sugar and water in a saucepan; stir well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves; stir in vanilla and lemon juice. Set aside.

Cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles cornmeal; add milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 4 or 5 times.

Roll dough to a 9x12 inch rectangle. Spread blueberries over dough; roll up, jelly roll fashion, beginning with long side. Set aside.

Melt butter in a 9x13x2 inch baking dish. Cut dough into 12 (1 inch) slices; place slices, cut side down, in butter. Pour sugar syrup around slices; bake at 350 degrees for 55 or 60 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped topping. Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
