Notes
- If you do not have buttermilk on hand, combine the milk and vinegar, this will take about 5 minutes to curdle. Set aside. - If you're using fresh blueberries, you can increase the amount by almost a cup Variation: Use the same recipe to bake blueberry lemon crumb squares: Replace: zest of 1 lemon in place of the lime juice and Use 11/2 cup of fresh blueberries For the crumb topping: 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp Brown Sugar 1/4 cup White Flour 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon powder 2 tablespoon Unsalted Butter, room temperature 1/2 tablespoon Canola Oil Combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, butter, and oil into a bowl. Mix until all ingredients are combined, this will form a crumbly mixture. Add the streusel on top and bake till a toothpick comes out clean
