Ingredients
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 the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the crisp.
- Prepare the blueberry filling: In a large mixing bowl, toss together the blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar. This helps to thicken the filling as it bakes.
- Assemble the filling: Butter an 8×8 inch baking dish and transfer the coated blueberries into this dish, spreading them evenly.
- Make the topping: Using a pastry blender or your fingers, combine 1 cup flour, ½ cup butter, 1 cup sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking powder until the mixture becomes crumbly. Stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to add flavor.
- Add topping to blueberries: Evenly sprinkle the crumbly topping over the blueberry mixture in the dish, covering it completely.
- Bake the crisp: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the topping turns a beautiful golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Cool and serve: Remove the crisp from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
