You can also come into the 21st century and use a food processor for these first steps. Simply add the dry ingredients to the bowl of the processor and add the butter and with the blade attachment pulse until you have the desired consistency, then place into a bowl and continue.
Add the blueberries and gently stir to distribute the berries throughout the mixture.
Add the milk and beaten egg and very gently stir to combine all the ingredients into a dough.
