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.
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries and sugar.
- Place over medium heat and stir gently as the blueberries begin to release their juices.
- Add the cornstarch and vanilla extract, then continue stirring until the mixture thickens slightly.
- 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
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
- Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 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
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
- Cut the dough into circles or squares using a cutter or knife.
- Place a small spoonful of blueberry filling in the center of half the pieces.
- 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
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Place the biscuits on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Mix the egg yolk with milk and brush it over the tops of the biscuits.
- 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
