    Lemon and blueberries is such a great combo so I'm not surprised they went down pretty easily! And with that glaze? Irresistible! Pinned :)

    I would love to make these because I love blueberry danish but I'm not understanding the process of folding the ends to make a circle. Do you mean taking a strip and rolling it into a spiral?
