*MUST MAKE - Blueberry crumb bars

These bars are TO DIE FOR! I'm thinking next time I will add slivered almonds to the top crumb layer and dust with powdered sugar. I'm also guessing these would be delicious with fresh raspberries too!

Recipe by Smitten Kitchen

Picture by me!



Note: I used my food processor to mix the flour, baking powder & sugar. Then I pulsed in the butter (cut into small cubes) to make this recipe SUPER quick and easy! The "dough" will very VERY VERY crumbly, but it you press it together it can form clumps.

1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cold unsalted butter (2 sticks or 8 ounces)
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon salt
Zest and juice of one lemon
4 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9×13 inch pan.

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