Blueberry Lemon Tart with Honey-Sweetened Glaze
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons ice water
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Add the cold butter pieces and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough into the pan and trim any excess. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and line with parchment paper. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the weights and parchment paper, and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool completely.
- In a small saucepan, combine the honey, 1/4 cup of water, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and zest. Allow the glaze to cool slightly.
- Arrange the fresh blueberries in the cooled tart crust. Drizzle the honey-lemon glaze over the blueberries.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of water to make a smooth glaze. Drizzle the powdered sugar glaze over the top of the tart.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the glaze to set. Enjoy!
