Ingredients
3⁄4 cups Unsalted Butter1⁄4 cup Brown Sugar
1 1⁄3 cup Flour (plus 14 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 1⁄2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 cup Sugar
1⁄4 teaspoon Salt
1 whole Egg
1 whole Egg Yolk
1 cup Milk
1 1⁄2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 cups Blueberries (fresh or thawed)
Directions
- In a medium bowl, combine the 1/3 cup flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add 4 tablespoons butter cut into pieces to the bowl and cut with a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles a crumble texture. Place in refrigerator.
- Melt 8 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. The butter will begin to foam, whisk consistently. After a couple of minutes, the butter will begin to brown; continue to whisk and remove from heat as soon as the butter begins to brown, turn an amber color and give off a nutty aroma. Immediately transfer the butter to a bowl. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 8x8 inch pan. Whisk together 1 3/4 cup flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
- Whisk together milk, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until well combined. Add the cooled brown butter and whisk until well combined.
- Slowly add brown butter and milk mixture to the flour and stir with a wooden spoon until combined.
- In a medium bowl, toss blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour. Gently fold blueberries into the batter.
- Add batter to prepared pan and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar topping. Bake for 45-55 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or just with a few crumbs attached. Serve warm or at room temperature.
