In the bowl of a food processor, add flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and lemon zest, and pulse briefly to mix.
3 cups all purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 cup sugar, zest of 1 lemon
Add cold butter (cut into tablespoon-sized chunks) and the egg, and pulse until the mixture is crumbly yet sticks together. Alternatively, cut the butter and egg into the dry ingredients using a fork or a pastry blender. Pat half the dough into the prepared pan for the bottom crust.
1 cup cold butter, 1 egg
Make the Filling:
In a medium bowl, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
juice of 1 lemon, ½ cup sugar, 4 teaspoons cornstarch
Gently mix in the blueberries.
4 cups fresh blueberries
Assemble and Bake the Bars:
Sprinkle the blueberry mixture evenly over the crust.
Crumble the remaining dough on top of the blueberries.
Bake for 45 minutes or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares. I typically cool the bars in the pan to room temperature then place the pan in the fridge overnight and cut them the next day. I think this is a bit easier.
