Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in lemon juice and blueberries.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until edges are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let cool completely, then drizzle with powdered sugar glaze (mix powdered sugar with a little lemon juice or water). Cut into bars and serve.
