minutesThis is so easy to do and when blueberries are in season it is even better. This is most forgiving recipe and the results are spectacular. The taste is divine. I serve it with lemon sorbet or vanilla ice cream or homemade whipped cream.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cup cornmeal
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- Filling
1 lb fresh blueberries
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
2 Tablespoons flour
Pinch of salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Make the crust/topping: In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, powdered sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, salt. Add melted butter and using a wooden spoon mix well until no dry spots remain.
- Press half the dough into a 9 inch tart pan with removable pan. Spread out so that it covers the bottom and goes up the sides. Reserve 1/2 of the dough for the topping.
- To make the Filling: In a bowl toss together blueberries, brown sugar, vinegar, flour and salt. Pour into crust.
- Sprinkle the remaining crust/topping over tart. Gently press the crust into the tart.
- Place the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet lines with parchment.
- Bake until tart is bubbling and thickened. Crust and topping should be golden and browned, about 40-45 minutes.
- Allow tart to cool completely before slicing it. It can be baked two days ahead of time and stored either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- Serve with lemon sorbet or homemade whipping cream
