Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 230°C (450°F) and line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the baking mix, sugar, and softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Stir in the milk and lemon zest using a fork to form a sticky dough.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each mound.
  5. Press each dough portion gently with the back of a spoon to create a well in the center.
  6. Spoon the blueberry pie filling evenly into the center of each pastry well.
Crumble Topping
  1. In a small bowl, combine the plain flour, oats, cold butter, and lemon zest for the crumble topping, mixing until crumbly.
  2. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over each filled pastry.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the pastries are golden around the edges.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Lemon Glaze
  1. Whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
  2. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled pastries just before serving.
