Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 115 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 2 tablespoons Ice-cold water
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 150 grams Fresh blueberries
• 240 milliliters Buttermilk
• 100 grams Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 15 grams All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of flour and 50 grams of sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Add 2 tablespoons of ice-cold water and the egg yolk to the mixture. Stir until the dough starts to come together, then shape it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Press the dough into the pan, trimming any overhang. Poke the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking.

Step 5

Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.

Step 6

In another mixing bowl, whisk together buttermilk, 2 large eggs, 100 grams of sugar, flour (15 grams), vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.

Step 7

Scatter the fresh blueberries evenly over the pre-baked crust. Pour the buttermilk filling over the blueberries, making sure they are evenly distributed.

Step 8

Place the tart on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.

Step 9

Allow the tart to cool completely before removing it from the pan. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve the tart at room temperature or chilled, and enjoy!
