Prepare the Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 4 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 cup of white sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together to ensure they are well mixed. -

Add 2 cups of soy milk to the dry mixture. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons of finely grated fresh lemon rind. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined. -
Add Blueberries:
Gently fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. -
