  • 3/4 cup sugar

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Streusel: In a medium bowl, mix together cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, and flour. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or fork until mixture forms fine crumbs.

Reduce speed to low; add egg and vanilla. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the milk and beginning and ending with the flour; beat until just combined. Stir in berries.
