Blueberry Lemon Delight with Vanilla Cream

Ingredients

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Vanilla ice cream, for serving
- Extra blueberries, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix well to combine.

3. Incorporate Butter: Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the texture becomes crumbly and resembles coarse sand.

4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, beat 1 egg and mix with 1/2 cup half and half, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.

5. Combine Mixtures: Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in Blueberries: Carefully fold 1 cup blueberries into the batter, ensuring even distribution without crushing them.

7. Bake: Spoon the batter into a greased 9x9-inch baking dish. Spread evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

8. Cool: Allow the dessert to cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 15 minutes.

9. Serve: Cut into squares and serve each portion topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, and a few extra blueberries for garnish.
