     1 c  Flour


     2 tb Sugar


   1/8 ts Salt


   1/2 c  Butter; chilled


     1 tb White vinegar

     3 c  Blueberries


   2/3 c  Sugar


     1 ts Cinnamon

------------------------------FOR
THE TOPPING------------------------------


     2 c  Blueberries


     2 ts Confectioners' sugar





 Preheat oven to 350F.


 


 PASTRY: Place flour, sugar and salt in a medium size mixing bowl. Cut in


 the chilled butter, then rub mixture with your finger tips until it


 resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle with the vinegar and shape gently into


 dough. Press dough into an ungreased 9-inch round cake pan to a thickness


 of about 1/4 inch. The crust should be worked to 1 inch up the sides of the


 pan.


 


 FILLING: Place the 3 cups of blueberries on the crust. Mix the sugar and


 cinnamon into the flour and sprinkle evenly over the berries. Place in the


 oven on the lowest rack and bake for 50 minutes or until the crust is


 golden and the filling bubbles.


 


 Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups of


 blueberries. Let the kuchen rest at room temperature for about an hour.


 Then sprinkle with the powdered sugar and serve.
