For the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, 100g of sugar, baking powder, and vanilla sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

For the filling: In a separate bowl, gently toss the blueberries with the remaining 50g of sugar, cornstarch (or potato starch), and lemon zest (if using).
