Recipe for Blackberry Crumb Bars

We adapted this recipe from one we found on pinterest so we could do something with all the blackberries in the garden:

Ingredients:

1 cup caster sugar (we don't know what 1 cup is but we figured so long as we use the same ratio of flour, butter and sugar it doesn't matter so we used a teacup as a measuring cup)

3 cups self raising flour

1 cup butter

1 egg

pinch of salt

splash of lemon juice

3 cups fresh blackberries (we had frozen them and just run the under the hot tap and chopped them up)

How to:

Preheat oven to 180c.

Grease medium sized deep baking tray.

In a large bowl stir together sugar and flour.

Add salt and lemon juice.   

Add butter and egg and mix to a crumbly dough.

Pat about two thirds of the dough firmly into the baking tray to make a thick layer that covers the entire base.

Spread chopped blackberries all over the top of the crumble base.

Sprinkle the rest of the crumble over the top.

Bake for about 20-25 minutes until slightly browned.

Cool before cutting into squares.
