Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a 9-inch by 13-inch rectangular baking dish, greasing it with butter and lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg with a wire whisk.
  • Add the cold butter to the flour mixture in chunks, blending it in with a pastry cutter or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Beat the egg in a small bowl and add it to the flour and butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
  • Press half of this mixture tightly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan and set the other half aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the fresh blueberries, white sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice and toss well.
  • Pour the blueberry mixture over the bottom crust you've just pressed into the baking pan.
  • Pour the remaining flour mixture over the blueberry layer and very gently press the flour mixture down onto the blueberries, just a little bit.
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the top crust is just barely golden brown.
  • Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into them or trying to remove them from the pan - they'll continue to bake a little after you've removed them from the oven and they'll need to cool in order to maintain their shape.
  • Once cool, cut them into 12 bars and serve.

Notes

These bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for no more than 2-3 days, and can be frozen for up to a month.
