I’m not sure if this is a cake recipe or a cookie bar recipe…. what a dilemma. Either way it is a delicious buttery blueberry treat. I also learned a new trick. I get so excited when I learn a new trick in the kitchen, do you? Well this one is pretty cool and will forever change the way I make a crumble topping. I have always just mixed my flour, butter and brown sugar together. This time I melted the butter and then after mixing all together I put the topping in the refrigerator. The butter resolidifies and when you break it up makes the best textured crumbled topping ever. Try it for yourself and see.
