Berries crumble
by Marlee Saruya

Ingredients

Crumbs:

  • 1 cup (200g) granulate sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 1 cup (22g) cold unsalted butter cut into chunks
  • 1 large egg

Berries:

  • Juice of one lemon
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp corn starch
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries

Method

  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, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Use a fork or pastry cutter to blend in the butter and egg. Dough will be crumbly. Pat [a little less than 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 45-60 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
