Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour (spoon and level)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup chilled butter cut into cubes
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cups fresh blueberries at room temperature
Instructions
1-First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal later.
2-In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugars, baking powder, and salt to form the base mixture.
3-Stir in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well blended, then add the chilled butter cubes and mix until the dough is crumbly.
4-Press half of the dough mixture firmly into the prepared pan to create an even base layer.
5-For the filling, mix the blueberries with cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice in a separate bowl, then spread this evenly over the base.
6-Sprinkle the remaining dough over the top to form a crumbly layer, and gently press it down.
7-Bake for 35-40 minutes until the top turns golden brown, then let it cool completely before slicing into bars.
