Preparation

Crumb Topping: Stir together butter, brown and granulated sugars, cinnamon and salt. Stir in flour and almonds; mix until dough is formed (or use hands to push together into dough).

In large bowl, whisk together 1-1/3 cups/325 mL flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Beat in butter until crumbly with no chunks, about 2 minutes.

Beat in egg, yolk, milk and lemon rind until smooth.

Toss blueberries with remaining flour; stir into batter. Spread into parchment paper-lined 8-inch/20 cm square metal cake pan, smoothing top. With fingers, crumble Crumb Topping evenly over blueberry batter.

Bake in centre of 350°F/180°C oven until tester inserted in centre comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool on rack. Cut into 9 squares.

Makes 9 squares.
