Method
- Preheat the oven to 160°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3. Lightly grease a baking tray
- Mix the flour, xanthan gum, and cornflour together in a bowl
- Add the butter and sugar, and rub together with your fingertips. Knead the mixture until it makes a smooth dough
- Roll out to be about 4mm thick and cut into small disks. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are a very pale golden brown colour. Remove from the oven, sprinkle with castor sugar, and leave to cool
- Put the cream, sugar, and lime zest into a heavy based pan and cook over a slow heat until the sugar is dissolved. This takes about 3-4 minutes
- Whisk in the lime juice; this will make the cream thicken
- Share the blueberries between your pots, then divide the cream between the pots. Leave to cool and then place in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
