An exquisite pastry harmonizing bright lemon with luscious blueberries, perfect for breakfast or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter until warm and the butter is melted. Stir this mixture into the flour mixture until combined.
  3. Add egg and mix until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  5. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes until doubled in size.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  7. Roll out the dough and cut it into 4-inch squares.
  8. In a separate bowl, mix blueberries, lemon juice, and zest.
  9. Place a spoonful of blueberry mixture in the center of each square, fold, and pinch edges to seal.
  10. Brush the tops with egg wash.
  11. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffed.
  12. Cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Serve warm.
