Recipe Tips
✔ Use fresh or frozen blueberries – If using frozen, let them thaw and drain excess moisture.
✔ Make it crunchy or soft – For a crunchier texture, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
✔ Mixing two colored doughs – when mixing the dough, we add more flour to the pumpkin mixture as it’s more moist. Add more flour if required.
✔ Chill the Dough – If the dough is too soft, refrigerate it for 15 minutes before rolling.
✔ Even Thickness – Try to roll both dough ropes to the same thickness for a uniform twist.
