Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon water (can add a little more if needed)
3/4 cup fresh blueberries

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Place butter cubes in freezer for 15 minutes.

  3. Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl and sprinkle in Chinese five spice powder.

  4. Cut in frozen butter using a pastry cutter until butter is about the size of peas.

  5. Mix in egg yolk, and continue cutting until thoroughly combined.
