To Make The Filling:
Place washed blueberries in a large bowl. Sprinkle on top, ¼ cup of the flour and ¼ cup white sugar. Add lemon juice and vanilla. Gently toss with the blueberries to coat.
Pour blueberry mixture into a large 13x9 inch baking dish. Set aside.
To Make The Topping:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, stir together 1-½ cups flour, 2 Tbs. white sugar, salt and baking powder. With a fork or pastry cutter, cut in the cubed butter until mixture is crumbly.
Add the half & half and form into a soft dough.
With Tablespoon-sized scoops, drop the dough on top of the blueberry mixture. Gently spread the dough a little but leaving spaces for the blueberries to bubble up.
Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top.
Bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until topping looks perfectly golden.
