Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 170 g Salted butter, cold
- 60 ml Ice water
- 150 g Brown sugar, packed
- 120 ml Corn syrup
- 60 ml Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 pieces Eggs, large
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 125 g Fresh blueberries
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with parchment paper liners.
Step 2
Prepare the pastry: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cold butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with your hands or a fork until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Step 4
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll it into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
Step 5
While the dough chills, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Step 6
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out 12 circles about 4 inches in diameter using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass.
Step 7
Press the circles of dough into the greased muffin tin, ensuring the edges of the dough extend slightly above the rim of each cup.
Step 8
Divide the blueberries evenly among the prepared pastry shells, about 10 to 12 berries per tart.
Step 9
Pour the filling mixture into each shell, covering the blueberries, but be careful not to overfill (leave a small gap at the top).
Step 10
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and just starting to bubble, and the pastry is golden brown.
Step 11
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the tarts to cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely (the filling will firm up as it cools).
Step 12
Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed. These tarts pair wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
