You will end up with lemon scented sugar.

Combine the lemon sugar, flour, salt, and butter and beat on medium speed with electric mixer fit with paddle attachment until mixture looks crumbly. Reserve 3/4 cup of mixture, and press remaining onto bottom of prepared pan.

Whisk eggs in a bowl.

Add sugar, sour cream, flour, and salt, and stir with spatula until combined. Gently fold in blueberries.

Pour the mixture evenly over the crust, making sure to scrape entire bowl onto crust. Also, make sure to move the blackberries around so they are evenly distributed on the crust.

Sprinkle remaining crust mixture over filling, along with walnuts if using.

Bake 45 to 55 minutes until the top is lightly browned.
