Cut in butter, using a pastry blender or two knives. Stir in blueberries. In a separate bowl, beat eggs. Reserve 2 Tbsp and add remaining eggs to dry ingredients. Pour in cream. Combine with a few swift strokes. Place on a slightly floured board and pat or roll to a thickness of 3/4 inch. Cut with a knife into diamond shapes or into 2-inch rounds.
