Blueberry Crisp

     One of the first things I remember avidly watching my grandma making is a berry crisp. She picked berries out of her back yard and made the item quickly.
     I also remember freaking out while picking said berries because a praying mantis crawled up my leg, but that's a story for a different time.
    Blueberries are probably my favorite berry for cobblers, and this recipe matched what I remember about that crisp very closely.


Ingredients
    Topping
           1/2 cup of all purpose flour
           1/3 cup of sugar
           1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon
           4 1/2 tbs of margarine or unsalted butter

      Berries
           2 1/2 cups of blueberries, frozen or fresh
           2 tsp of lemon juice
           1/4 cup of sugar
           2 tsp of cornstarch


Directions
      Preheat oven with 350 degrees.
      Combine topping ingredients and cut butter into flour mix.
      Sprinkle lemon juice on top of berries.
      Combine sugar and cornstarch and then sprinkle over berries.
      Place berry mixture in an buttered cake pan and top with topping mixture.
      Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, 40 if you use frozen berries.


Changes I Made!
   I went a little heavy with the sugar.
