Ingredients

  • For the casserole:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup milk, whole or 2%
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1 medium lemon, zested
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
  • For the streusel:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Directions

Step 1 -In a large bowl, whisk 2 cups of the flour, 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of the kosher salt.

Step 2 -Add the eggs, the buttermilk, the milk, 4 tablespoons of the melted butter, the lemon zest, and the lemon juice, stirring until just barely combined. The batter should be lumpy.

Step 3 -Refrigerate the batter until ready to use, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

Step 4 -Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.

Step 5 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 6 -Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 7 -Whisk 1/2 cup of the flour, the baking powder, and the baking soda together in a small bowl.

Step 8 -Fold the flour mixture into the batter until just combined.

Step 9 -Pour the batter mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Step 10 -Sprinkle evenly with the blueberries.

Step 11 -Whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup of the flour, the brown sugar, the remaining granulated sugar, the cinnamon, and the remaining kosher salt in a small bowl.

Step 12 -Add the remaining cold cubed butter and using a fork or your fingers, mix until the butter mixture is well-combined and crumbly. Try to keep the butter as cold as possible.

Step 13 -Sprinkle the streusel over the casserole evenly.

Step 14 -Bake until the casserole is golden-brown, the casserole starts to pull away from the sides of the dish, and the top springs back gently when touched, about 45-50 minutes.

Step 15 -Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 16 -Serve!
