Ingredients

  • 6 cups fresh blueberries, washed and picked through for stems
  • 1- ¾ cups all purpose flour, used separately (¼ cup, 1-½ cups)
  • 6 Tablespoons white sugar, used separately (¼ cup., 2 Tbs.)
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon non-aluminum baking powder
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, cold and diced into cubes
  • ¾ cup Half & Half

To Make The Topping:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
