- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled butter, (cut into pieces)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated white sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 5 tablespoons butter, (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray a 9x13-inch pyrex pan with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, zest and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and vanilla together; stir into the crumb mixture until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. (Keep the oven on)
Sprinkle the blueberries over the crust. In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over the blueberries.
In a medium bowl, use a rubber spatula to cream together the 5 tablespoons butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, so that the mixture is crumbly like streusel. Sprinkle over the blueberry layer.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until browned. Cool and then dust with powdered sugar before cutting into bars.
