Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar (for topping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the vanilla extract, then gradually add the flour and salt. Beat on low speed until the mixture becomes a crumbly dough.

Step 4

Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the shortbread base. Save the remaining one-third for the crumble topping.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, toss the blueberries with lemon juice and sprinkle with cornstarch. Mix gently to coat evenly.

Step 6

Distribute the blueberry mixture evenly over the shortbread base.

Step 7

Crumble the reserved dough over the blueberries, breaking it into pea-sized pieces with your fingers.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the blueberries are bubbling.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares or bars.

Step 10

If desired, dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy your delicious Blueberry Shortbread Crumble!
