Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) blueberries
  • 2 1/2 cups (310g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (227g) cold unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons (15g) cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 ½ cups (310g) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cut in 1 cup (227g) cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 1 ½ cups for the topping and press the rest firmly into the prepared pan as the crust.
  3. In another bowl, combine 4 cups (600g) blueberries, 2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice, 2 tablespoons (15g) cornstarch, and ½ cup (100g) sugar. Stir well to coat the berries evenly.
  4. Pour the blueberry filling over the crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved crumble topping over the blueberries.
  5. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Notes

For best results, use cold butter to achieve a crumbly texture. Let the bars cool completely before slicing to allow the filling to set. If the topping browns too quickly, cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
