Notes
Tips and Tricks
Use cold butter for a flakier crust. Make sure the crust is well pricked with a fork before adding the blueberries to prevent the crust from puffing up. Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture. You can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cream mixture for extra flavor.Nutrition
