Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Tbsp butter, cubed
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/3 cup water
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for the filling)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt (for the filling)
- 6 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, divided
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for the filling)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small pot until golden, then stir in vanilla and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cooled butter mixture and stir into dough.
- Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- Prick bottom of crust with a fork, line with parchment and pie weights, and bake for 20 minutes. Remove weights and bake another 5 minutes. Cool completely.
- Whisk water and cornstarch in a pot, then add sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add 2 cups blueberries and bring to a boil, mashing gently and stirring for 3–5 minutes.
- Stir in lemon juice and vanilla, boil another 30 seconds until thick. Remove from heat and fold in remaining blueberries.
- Pour filling into tart shell, smooth the top, and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Notes
- Let the crust cool completely before adding the filling to prevent sogginess.
- Frozen blueberries can be used but may release more juice; adjust thickening accordingly.
- Taste the filling and adjust sweetness or acidity as needed.
- Chilling the tart is essential for proper setting and slicing.
