Ingredients 
6 cups all purpose flour, unsifted

2 tsp baking powder
1 pound butter, cut into chips and softened
2 each eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat Oven to 370 degrees.
Place the flour, 1 cup of sugar, brown sugar and baking powder into a large mixing bowl or into a stand mixer with a pastry cutter paddle.
Cut in the butter until most of the butter is dime sized.
While continuing to cut in the butter, add the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.  Cut until the butter is pea sized.
In a seperate mixing bowl, mix the blueberries, remaining sugar and cornstarch. Stir until blueberries are coated with the sugar mixture.
Grease the baking pan.  Sprinkle half of the crumble over the bottom of the pan. 
Add the blueberry mixture, and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining crumble on top of the blueberries and spread evenly.
You should be able to see some of the berries through the crumble.
