Lemon Blueberry Crumb Bars

A quick share of my Lemon Blueberry Crumb Bars that i made on last weekend. The lemon blueberry flavor tasted good.



Recipe adapted from AllRecipes.com



Ingredients:

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


Methods:

1) Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 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 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 (In future, i should lower my oven temperature 5 to 8 minutes as the top was slightly too brown). Cool completely before cutting.
