The Pastry Queen, Rebecca Rather
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chilled unsalted butter
4 large eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
salt, a pinch
2 (16 ounce) packages frozen blackberries, defrosted and drained
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°; grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Make the crust/topping: in the bowl of a food processor fitted with metal blade, combine the flour, sugar, and salt; process until combined, about 45 seconds.
3. Cut the butter into 1/2 inch cubes; process the butter with the flour mixture for 30-60 seconds, until the butter is evenly distributed but the mixture is still crumbly.
4. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the crust mixture to use as the topping.
5. Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the pan; bake for 12-15 minutes until it is golden brown; cool for at least 10 minutes.
6. Make the filling: in a large bowl, whisk the eggs; then add in the sugar, sour cream, flour, and salt.
7. Gently fold in the black berries; spoon mixture evenly over the crust.
8. Sprinkle the reserved crust mixture evenly over the filling.
9. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
10. Cool at least 1 hour before cutting into bars.
