    5 1/3 oz (150 g) shortbread cookies
    1 tb A-P flour
    1/4 ts Kosher salt
    1/2 ts Baking powder
    1 tb Granulated sugar
    2 tb Unsalted butter; room temp
    1 lg Egg yolk

    Set oven to 350oF/175oC.

    Line a 9" square pan with parchment paper, leaving a
    2-inch overhang on two sides. In a food processor,
    combine shortbread cookies, sugar, flour and salt and
    pulse until you have fine crumbs. Add butter and pulse
    until crumbs are evenly moistened. Transfer mixture into
    the prepared pan and press down into an even layer. Bake
    until fragrant and a shade darker, 15 to 20 minutes.

    MEANWHILE, PREPARE FILLING: In a medium bowl, add cream
    cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 egg and mix until smooth.
    In a separate medium bowl, add blueberries, remaining
    1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch and salt, and toss to combine.

    PREPARE TOPPING: In a food processor, combine
    shortbread, flour, salt, baking powder and sugar and
    pulse to combine. Add butter and egg yolk, and pulse
    until the mixture is evenly moistened.

    Remove crust from oven and top it evenly with cream
    cheese mixture and then blueberry mixture. Sprinkle
    topping over blueberry layer, squeezing to make some
    larger clumps. Bake until filling is set and no longer
    jiggly, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool
    completely then chill in the refrigerator for at least 1
    hour.

    To serve, use a sharp knife to release edges. Using
    parchment overhang, lift and transfer to a cutting board
    and cut into 16 squares.

    Title: Blueberry Bagels
    Categories: Breads, Fruits, Dairy, Cheese
    Yield: 8 Bagels

    3/4 c (185ml) warm water
    100 g Frozen blueberries; thawed
    2 ts (7g/1 sachet) dried yeast
    1/3 c (70g) caster sugar
    2 1/2 c (375g) plain flour
    1 ts Ground cinnamon
    1/2 ts Salt
    8 c (2 litres) water; + extra
    1 lg Egg yolk
    1 tb Milk
    1/4 c (60g) white sugar
    Cream cheese; to serve
    Blueberries and raspberries;
    - to serve

    Combine water, blueberries, yeast and 2 tablespoons of
    caster sugar in a jug. Set aside for 5 minutes or until
    frothy.

    Combine the flour, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl and
    make a well in the centre. Pour the yeast mixture into the
    well and stir until mixture just comes together. Turn onto
    a lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes or
    until dough is smooth and elastic. Place in a large bowl
    and loosely cover with plastic wrap. Set aside in a warm,
    draught-free place for 30 minutes or until dough rises by
    half.

    Preheat oven to 360ºF/180ºC. Combine extra water and
    remaining caster sugar in a large saucepan over high heat
    and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and bring to
    a simmer.

    Brush an oven tray with oil. Divide dough into eight even
    portions. Roll each portion into a ball. Push a lightly
    floured finger through middle of ball to create a hole.
    Flatten ball slightly. Place on oiled tray and set aside
    for 10 minutes to rise slightly.

    Add 4 of the bagels to simmering water; cook for 3
    minutes. Use a slotted spoon to turn; cook for a further 3
    minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and return to oiled
    tray. Repeat with remaining bagels.

    Whisk egg yolk and milk together in a bowl. Brush evenly
    over each bagel; sprinkle with sugar. Bake in preheated
    oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked
    through. Remove from oven and set aside to cool. Serve
    toasted with cream cheese and berries, if desired.
