Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. For the crust, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Mix in flour and salt until a crumbly dough forms. Press into the prepared pan and bake for 20–22 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool.
