Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) salt
  • 6 tablespoons (90ml) ice water
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh blueberries
  • ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon (1g) cinnamon
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon (2.5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) water

Instructions:

  1. Combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally for 8–10 minutes until the berries burst and the mixture thickens into a jammy consistency. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
  3. Gradually stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough just holds together.
  4. Roll the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle about ¼ inch thick, then cut into 8 equal rectangles.
  5. Place 1-2 tablespoons of cooled blueberry filling on each rectangle, top with a second layer of dough, and seal the edges using a fork-crimp.
  6. Brush the tops with an egg wash (beaten egg and water) and bake for 25 minutes until mahogany-colored and crisp.
  7. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze; drizzle over cooled pastries.
