    1/2 cup sugar
    2 tablespoons lemon juice
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 cup flour
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 tablespoons butter or 1 1/2 tablespoons shortening
    1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

Preparation
    preheat oven to 375 degrees farenheit.

    remove from heat.
    make the topping.
    mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
    cut in butter (or shortening) until crumbly (if you've got one, a food processor works well. a few pulses should suffice).
    separate out 1/2 cup of this mixture.
    add nutmeg and cinnamon (if using) to the 1/2 cup portion.
    make the other filling.
    add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder to the remaining flour/sugar mixture.
    combine 1/2 cup milk, egg, and vanilla. add to dry ingredients and combine until moist.
    pour into pie shell.
    spoon in blueberry mixture and cut through to marble (use a spoon so you don't accidentally cut through your crust like i did the firt time i made this).
    sprinkle reserved 1/2 cup of sugar/flour mixture on top.
    dot with butter and garnish with dashes of cinnamon sugar (if desired).
    bake 40-45 minutes.
