Variations

Looking to make this recipe gluten-free or vegan? We've got you covered! 💪

Gluten-Free Variation: Use gluten-free pastry dough in place of regular dough. Make sure it’s rolled out uniformly to avoid any uneven baking.

Vegan Variation: Replace the egg yolk with a mix of plant milk and maple syrup for brushing. Opt for a vegan dough option, and you’re good to go! 🌿

Faq

  • What type of dough should I use?

    Any store-bought or homemade pastry dough will work great. Puff pastry or croissant dough can turn these twists into something extraordinary!

  • How do I prevent my blueberries from bursting?

    Use fresh blueberries and handle them gently while placing them on the dough. Bursting is part of the charm, but this can help minimize excessive bursts.

  • Can I use frozen blueberries?

    Yes, you can! Just make sure to thaw them and pat them dry before using, to avoid excess moisture which can make the dough soggy.

  • What can I substitute for egg yolk?

    For a vegan alternative, a mix of plant milk and maple syrup works well for giving a glossy finish to your pastry twists.

  • How can I store leftover twists?

    Place them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.

  • Why did my twists turn out soggy?

    This could be due to too much moisture from the blueberries or underbaking. Make sure to pat the blueberries dry and bake until golden and crisp.
