Ingredients
Scale
Blueberry Filling
- 4 cups blueberries
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Topping
- 1 cup sifted flour
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the crisp.
- Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a large bowl, toss the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar until they are well coated. This helps thicken the filling as it bakes.
- Assemble the Filling: Transfer the blueberry mixture into a buttered 8×8-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Make the Topping: Using a pastry blender, mix together 1 cup of sifted flour, ½ cup butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking powder until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to add flavor.
- Apply the Topping: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the blueberry layer in the baking dish.
- Bake the Crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the topping turns golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste and texture.
