These are very good gluten-free with Mama's Almond Flour blend.
Ingredients
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (substitute Mama's Almond Blend Flour if you want this gluten-free)
  • 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into about 16 small pieces (2 sticks or 8 ounces)
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Zest two lemons, juice of one lemon
  • 4½ cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and butter a 9X13 pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl stir together the sugar, baking powder and flour. Stir in the slat and zest of two lemons. Add the butter and blend with flour using a pastry cutter or fork until the most of the butter is the size of peas, with some large and smaller pieces. Add the egg and blend in with the pastry cutter or fork.
  3. In a separate bowl stir together the sugar, cornstarch and juice of one lemon. Gently fold in the blueberries.
  4. Pour half of the dough into the 9X13 pan and press down to form a smooth layer. Pour the blueberry mixture over your first layer of dough. Finish by spreading the rest of the dough on top of the blueberries.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the tops of the bars are just beginning to brown. Serve warm or cool depending on your will power and preferences.
