Another in my "blueberry series" recipes.
My granddad - I get all of my baking skills from him! - makes a delicious peach and blueberry crumble. I know I have the recipe somewhere but couldn't readily find it so I just winged-it in making this Blueberry Crumble. I get into the differences between crumbles, crisps, and other fruit desserts with toppings in my
Blueberry Crisp post.
For this recipe, similar to the crisp, I mixed the blueberries with a little flour (to thicken the juices), sugar, spices, and lemon juice/zest. For the crumble topping, I used flour, a little semolina flour, brown sugar, spices, lemon zest, vanilla, egg, and melted butter.

fresh blueberries |
|
adding the dry ingredients |
|
mix until well coated and set aside. The sugar brings out the blueberry juices |
|
mise en place...a bit of this, a bit of that |
|
mix the dry ingredients together |
|
cut in the egg until the mixture starts to clump up |
|
spread over the blueberries in your baking dish |
|
drizzle the melted butter over the top |
|
and bake until the juices bubble up through the crust |
|
so delicious! |
Bye for now...
