Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 3 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 5-6 tablespoons milk

For the Filling:

• 4 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/3 cup flour
• 4 tablespoons tapioca
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, vegetable oil, and milk.
   • Mix until well blended to form a dough-like consistency.

2. Press Into Pan:

   • Pat two-thirds of the crust mixture onto the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides of an ungreased 9×13 inch pan.
   • Ensure the crust is evenly distributed for a perfect base.

3. Prepare the Filling:

   • In a separate bowl, gently toss the fresh blueberries with sugar and flour until they are evenly coated.
   • Add tapioca, lemon juice, and salt to the blueberry mixture, stirring gently to combine.

4. Assemble the Blueberry Thing:

   • Spoon the prepared blueberry filling onto the crust in the pan.
   • Dot the top of the filling with small pieces of butter for added richness.

5. Top with Crust:

   • Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture evenly over the blueberry filling, covering it entirely.

6. Bake to Perfection:

   • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
   • Bake the Blueberry Thing in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
   • After 10 minutes, reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once baked to perfection, allow the Blueberry Thing to cool slightly before serving.
   • It can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference.
   • Pair it with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat.
