Recipe: Blueberry "Pie"


My daughter likes to call this Blueberry pie; however, its more of a shortbread mixture with a light lemon glaze instead of a pie.

What you need:

~ 10 x 10 square pan, or 10X 13 pan
~ non-stick spray

Ingredients:

~ 1 cup butter, softened
~ 1 3/4 cups sugar
~ 4 eggs
~ 1 tsp vanilla extract
~ 3 cups all-purpose flour
~ 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
~ 1/2 tsp salt
~ 1 16 oz. container of blueberry preserves (or 21 oz. blueberry pie filling)

Glaze:

~ 1 1/4 cup confectioners sugar
~ 2 Tbs lemon juice
~ 2 Tbs butter, melted

What to do:

~ In a large bowl, cream butter and 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 just until combined.

~ Spread 3/4 of the batter into a greased pan. Spread with pie filling or preserves,. Drop the remaining batter by teaspoonfuls over the top.

~ Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. In a small bowl, combine the glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over hot bars.

ENJOY!
