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.
