Categories     Dessert

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided into 1 cup and 3/4 cup
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided into 1/4 teaspoons
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
10 ounces blackberries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan. Line bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides. Butter and flour paper, and tap out excess. Whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1 cup of flour and mix with a fork until moist crumbs form. Refrigerate. Whisk together 3/4 cup flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat softened butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until ligh and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat well. Reduce mixer speed to low, and mix in flour mixture. Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Sprinkle with blackberries. Then, sprinkle with chilled topping. Bake 40-45 minutes, until golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out with moist crumbs attached. Cool completely in pan. Then, remove from pan using the overhanging parchment paper. Cut into squares.

Tips:

  • Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor. If using frozen blackberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • Be sure to rinse the blackberries well before using them.
  • For a sweeter filling, add an extra cup of sugar to the blackberry mixture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to mix the crust ingredients together.
  • Be sure to press the crust firmly into the pan so that it doesn't crumble.
  • Bake the bars until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
  • Serve the bars with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
