Baking Success!

I am not the best cook (or baker) and this recipe was so easy and delicious!  My future husband was impressed...



Blueberry Crisp  (A Martha Stewart recipe)

Ingredients

  • For the filling
  • 6 cups (3 pints) blueberries
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 tablespoon cornstarch
    1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
    1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
  •  
  • For the topping
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup rolled oats (or chopped nuts, such as almonds) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened 1/3 cup sugar
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°. Make the filling: Mix blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl. Transfer to an 8-inch square baking dish.
Make the topping: Stir together flour, oats, baking powder, and salt. Cream butter and sugar in a mixer until pale and fluffy. Stir dry ingredients into butter. Using your hands, squeeze topping pieces together into clumps.
Sprinkle topping evenly over filling. Bake until bubbling in center and brown on top, about 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack, and let cool for 30 minutes before serving.
