Step Five.

Sprinkle with blueberries and cook for 20-25 minutes till custard is set and they go all puffed and golden on top. Depending on your oven you may need a little longer, give them a little shake, or lightly  press your fingers into the centre at around the 20 minute mark. Continue cooking them if the middle is a little soft still.

Step Six.

Dust with icing sugar to serve.
