Scale

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
  • 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

  4. Fold in the blueberries and lemon zest gently.
  5. Combine the heavy cream, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon juice in another bowl.

  7. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead a few times.

Notes

For optimal flakiness, use cold butter. Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
