MINI BLUEBERRY GALETTES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a bowl, stir together blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, salt and lemon zest and juice.
• Cut the pie crusts into 6 circles with a 4 1/2-inch round cutter. Lift the circles onto the prepared baking sheet. Place about 1/4 cup of the blueberry mixture into the center of each circle. Gently fold over the edges to cover approximately 1 inch of the filling.
• Brush the egg wash around the edge of each pastry. Sprinkle the crusts with sugar and bake until the crusts are golden and the filling is bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes.

MINI LEMON BLUEBERRY CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease and flour 4 to 6 mini loaf pans or small baking dishes. Reserve 1/4 cup of flour to coat the berries (see notes, above). In a medium bowl, sift 2 3/4 cups of flour, sugar, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter; add lemon extract and gradually add sugar. Beat 2 minutes. Beat in 2 eggs at a time, beating until thoroughly mixed after each addition. On lowest speed, add half the flour, beating only until blended. Add all the sour cream, then the balance of the flour. Mix until smooth. Stir in flour-coated blueberries. Pour into prepared pans and bake at 350 degrees F for 40-55 minutes. Cool 20 minutes in pans, then turn onto a cooling rack.
