- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2/3 cup heavy cream

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in the blueberries and lemon zest.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and egg.
6. Add the cream mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.
8. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick and cut it into 8 wedges.
