Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cups whole milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for topping)
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (for topping), melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.

Step 7

Evenly scatter the fresh blueberries over the batter.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and additional flour (for topping).

Step 9

Pour the melted butter for the topping into the dry topping mixture and stir until crumbly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the blueberries.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Allow the Kuchen to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
