Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Reserve about 1 cup of this crumb mixture for the topping. With the remaining crumbs, add the milk and gently mix until a soft dough forms.
Press the dough evenly into the base and up the sides of the prepared pie dish to form the crust.
In another bowl, mix the lingonberries, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the berries are evenly coated.
Spread the lingonberry mixture over the crust in an even layer.
Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the top of the lingonberries, ensuring an even distribution.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the berry filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
