Ingredients2 cups all-purpose flour plus a little more for dusting blueberries1 tablespoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt2 tablespoons sugar3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut in chunks1 cup heavy cream1 cup fresh, not frozen, blueberriesInstructions
- Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or pastry blender, cut in butter to coat the pieces with flour until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Make a well in center and pour in heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork dough. Toss blueberries in a little flour, then fold them into the batter, taking care not to mash or bruise them.
- Gently press dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12x3x1-1/2 inches. Cut in half, then cut the 2 pieces in half again. Cut the squares in half on a diagonal.
- Place triangles on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until brown. Let cool a bit before applying glaze.
