I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a stand mixer. Do you think I could make the dough by hand?

The crust was a bit too dry for my liking. I would recommend adding a little more butter or shortening to the dough.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the blueberry filling.

This danish is a great way to use up leftover blueberries. I always have a few blueberries left over after making pancakes or muffins, and this danish is the perfect way to use them up.
