Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup butter, at room temperature
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 3 cups blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Mix flour, butter, and powdered sugar together until a dough forms. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Step 4
Meanwhile, toss blueberries with cornstarch and place in a saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and lemon extract. Simmer, stirring gently to avoid crushing the berries, until sugar dissolves and filling thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 5
Pour blueberry filling over the cooled crust. Let cool before slicing.

Cook’s Note:

Can also be made into mini tarts using a muffin pan. Bake tart shells for about 10 minutes.

    I found the ratio of crust to fruit to be wrong. The crust was thick and in need of more blueberries. The blueberries could also use a bit more sugar. I did like it and it was tasty but next time I will add 1 to 1 1/2 more cups of blueberries. Thanks for sharing!
