Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup tapioca starch
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 piece large egg
• 2 tablespoons cold water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine almond flour, tapioca starch, and granulated sugar. Pulse to mix.

Step 3

Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the egg, cold water, and vanilla extract to the mixture, then pulse until a dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a sheet of parchment paper and knead gently to bring it together. Roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 6

In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook on medium heat until the blueberries start to release their juices and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Step 7

Spread the blueberry mixture evenly down the center of the dough rectangle, leaving space on the edges.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the dough over the filling, overlapping slightly. Gently seal the seams.

Step 9

Transfer the dough with the parchment paper to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Step 11

While the danish is baking, mix the powdered sugar and milk to form a glaze.

Step 12

Once baked, allow the danish to cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle the glaze over the top before slicing and serving.
