Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 2 tablespoons Ice water
• 3 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 unit Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup of granulated sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt.

Step 3

Add 0.5 cup of chilled, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Drizzle 2 tablespoons of ice water over the mixture and mix lightly until the dough begins to come together. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of water, a little at a time, until the dough forms.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine 3 cups of fresh blueberries, 0.5 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gently stir until the blueberries are evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 7

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit a 9-inch tart pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.

Step 8

Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared tart crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of heavy cream. Brush this mixture over the exposed edges of the tart crust.

Step 10

Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 12

Serve the blueberry tart at room temperature or slightly warmed, with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
