Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a 9×13 inch pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk 1 cup sugar, flour and baking powder. Mix in the salt and lemon zest.
Using a pastry cutter, blend the butter and egg into the flour mixture. Dough will be crumbly.
Add half of the dough to the greasted pan, gently pat down.
In another bowl, stir together 1/4 cup of sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Gently mix in the blueberries.
Add the blueberries to the pan and crumble the remaining dough over the blueberry layer.
Bake for 45 minutes, or until top is slightly brown. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
