Directions

  1. 1
    1. Crust and topping: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Pour sugar onto a large cutting board, and rub the lemon zest into the sugar with a spoon or bench scraper.

    2. Whisk together lemon sugar, flour, and salt. Cut in cold diced butter with pastry cutter or two forks until it looks like coarse meal. I typically finish by rubbing the butter in with my fingers-it's messy, but faster.

    3. Set aside 1 1/2 cups crust mixture for topping. Press the rest into the bottom of prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool while you prepare the filling.

    4. Filling: Whisk the eggs, then add sugar, sour cream, almond extract, flour and salt. Gently fold in blueberries. Pour over cooked crust. Sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 cups of crust mixture over the top, and bake for about an hour until top is golden brown. Cool before slicing.
