The Pastry Queen, Rebecca Rather
1¾ hours | 45 min prep
2 dozen bars
Crust and Topping
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups chilled unsalted butter
Fruit Filling
- 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
- Preheat oven to 350°; grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
- 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.
- Cut the butter into ½ 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.
- Reserve 1 ½ cups of the crust mixture to use as the topping.
- 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.
- Make the filling: in a large bowl, whisk the eggs; then add in the sugar, sour cream, flour, and salt.
- Gently fold in the black berries; spoon mixture evenly over the crust.
- Sprinkle the reserved crust mixture evenly over the filling.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, until the top is lightly browned.
- Cool at least 1 hour before cutting into bars.
