Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for even baking.
Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a large bowl, toss 4 cups of blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour and 2 tablespoons of sugar until the berries are evenly coated. This helps to thicken the juices released during baking.
Assemble in Baking Dish: Butter an 8×8 inch baking dish and transfer the blueberry mixture into it, spreading evenly.
Make the Topping: Using a pastry blender, combine 1 cup sifted flour, ½ cup butter, 1 cup sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon baking powder. Blend until the mixture becomes crumbly in texture. Finally, stir in ½ teaspoon vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
Add Topping to Blueberries: Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the blueberry mixture in the baking dish to cover the berries.
Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping turns a lovely golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the crisp to cool on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before serving, allowing the filling to set slightly.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the topping mixture.
Serve the crisp warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic dessert experience.
Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if frozen, do not thaw before using.
To make the topping easier to mix, keep the butter cold before blending.
The crisp is best eaten within 2 days but can be refrigerated and gently reheated before serving.
