Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 125 grams unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 60 milliliters cold water
• 500 grams fresh blueberries
• 1 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 tablespoon coarse sugar for sprinkling

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough comes together.

Step 5

Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, rinse the blueberries under cold water and drain well.

Step 7

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Gently stir to coat the blueberries evenly. Set aside.

Step 8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your tart pan, about 10-12 inches in diameter. Carefully fit the dough into the tart pan, pressing it into the edges and trimming any excess.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Brush the edges of the tart crust with the beaten egg for a golden finish and sprinkle with coarse sugar.

Step 11

Place the tart on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the tart cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
