Mom gave me part of the 11 pounds of blueberries she bought, and while I don't like to eat them I DO like to eat baked goods with them.

3 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 large egg

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
4 cups blueberries, room temperature

Preheat oven to 375 and prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish
In a large mixing bowl whisk together flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk together egg and vanilla.
Mix in flour, 1/2 cup sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt
Add cold butter cubes - cut together with fork/knife/pastry cutter until crumbly
Press 1/2 of the mixture evenly into prepared baking dish.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together remaining 1/2 cup sugar and cornstarch
Stir in lemon juice and blueberries
Spread berries evenly over crust.
Sprinkle remaining crumb mixture over berries.
Bake about 38 - 42 minutes until golden brown.

Make more lemony by adding lemon zest.
