I bought some fresh blueberries and went hunting for a good recipe.  I think this one fills the bill.

Prep. 20 Min./ Bake 40 Min.

 

Ingredients

1. 6 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
2. 1-1/2 cups sugar
3. 1/4 cup water
4. CRUST:
5. 3/4 cup butter, softened
6. 1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
7. 3 eggs
8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
9. 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
10. 1 teaspoon baking powder
11. 1/2 teaspoon salt
12. 1/4 cup butter, melted
13. Vanilla ice cream, optional

Directions

14. Place blueberries in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish; set aside. In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a boil; cook and stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour over berries.
15. In a large bowl, cream butter and 1-1/2 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture. Spread over berry mixture. Drizzle with melted butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar.

 

Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream if desired. Yield: 15 servings.
