 Ingredients

 For the Biscuit Dough:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 100g cold unsalted butter (cut into cubes)
• 1 cup heavy cream (or whipping cream)

 For the Blueberry Filling:

• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

 For the Egg Wash:

• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon milk

 Step-by-Step Instructions

 Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

Start by making the filling so it has time to cool.

1. In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries and sugar.
2. Place over medium heat and stir gently as the blueberries begin to release their juices.
3. Add the cornstarch and vanilla extract, then continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly.
4. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.

Tip: The filling should be thick, not runny — this helps prevent leaking during baking.

 Step 2: Make the Biscuit Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
2. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and gently mix until the dough just comes together.

Do not overmix — this is key for soft, flaky biscuits.

 Step 3: Shape the Biscuits

1. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
2. Cut the dough into circles or squares using a cutter or knife.
3. Place a small spoonful of blueberry filling in the center of half the pieces.
4. Cover with another piece of dough and press the edges gently to seal.

Optional: You can create open-top biscuits if you prefer a more rustic look.

 Step 4: Brush and Bake

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. Place the biscuits on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
3. Mix the egg yolk with milk and brush it over the tops of the biscuits.
4. Bake for 18–25 minutes, or until golden brown.

 Final Result

Once baked, your biscuits will have:

• A beautiful golden crust
• A soft, fluffy interior
• A creamy, sweet blueberry center

The aroma alone will make your kitchen feel like a bakery
