  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour, granulated sugar, and sea salt.
  2. Add the chilled, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add cold water, stirring until the dough just comes together. Tip: Overworking the dough can make it tough, so stop as soon as it forms a ball.
  4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to relax the gluten.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 6-inch squares.
  7. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with cornstarch and vanilla extract. Spoon the mixture onto the center of each dough square.
  8. Fold the corners of the dough squares over the blueberries, leaving the center exposed. Brush the edges with the beaten egg.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling. Tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
  10. While the danishes cool, whisk together confectioners’ sugar and milk to create a glaze. Drizzle over the pastries before serving. Tip: For a thinner glaze, add a teaspoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.

Nothing beats the contrast of the crisp, buttery pastry against the soft, sweet blueberries. Serve these danishes warm with a dollop of clotted cream for an extra indulgent treat.
