Thank you Smitten Kitchen for the recipe!

Ingredients

Crumbs:

  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 3 cups (390 grams) all-purpose flour

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • Zest of one lemon

  • 1 cup (8 ounces or 225 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks

  • 1 large egg

Berries:

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar

  • 4 tsp cornstarch

  • 4 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375° F and grease a 9×13 inch pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 cup sugar, 3 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat half of the dough into the prepared pan.

  3. In another bowl, stir together the sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently mix in the blueberries. Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust. Crumble remaining dough over the berry layer.

  4. Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes or until top is slightly brown. (This took an extra 10 to 15 minutes in my oven.) Cool completely before cutting into squares.
