Blueberry Tart: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons ice water
• 4 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

6. In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thicken. Remove from heat.
7. Pour the blueberry mixture into the pre-baked tart shell. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the filling is set.
8. Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool completely.
9. Serve, garnished with fresh blueberries and powdered sugar, if desired.
