  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest from 1 lemon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter cold, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  3. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
