Raw Blueberry Tartlets Recipes

BLUEBERRY TART

Steps:

• Special equipment: a 9-inch springform pan
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
• Combine 1 cup of the flour, 1 1/2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar and the salt in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with some large lumps. Add the egg yolks and pulse until blended.
• Place the dough in the springform pan, and press it evenly against the bottom and about 1 inch up the sides. Toss 2 1/2 cups of the berries, the lemon zest, juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, remaining 1 tablespoon flour and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Pour the berry mixture into the shell and bake until vigorously bubbling, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and immediately top with the remaining 1 1/2 cups blueberries.
• Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar by tapping it through a fine-mesh sieve. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix flour, butter, and powdered sugar together until a dough forms. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, toss blueberries with cornstarch and place in a saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and lemon extract. Simmer, stirring gently to avoid crushing the berries, until sugar dissolves and filling thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Pour blueberry filling over the cooled crust. Let cool before slicing.

MINI BLUEBERRY TARTS

Steps:

• Pulse flour, confectioners' sugar, and a pinch of salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter, and process until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With processor running, add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until a dough forms (do not process more than 20 seconds).
• Cut dough in half; shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 day. Cut 1 disk into 12 pieces; on a lightly floured work surface, flatten each piece into a 2-inch round. Press a round onto bottom and up sides of each cup of a 12-cup nonstick mini-muffin tin. Repeat with remaining disk of dough and second muffin tin. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Stir together granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice and zest, and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Add berries; toss to coat. Fill shells with berry mixture. Bake until crusts are brown and filling is bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let cool slightly in tins. Run a knife around tarts; remove from tins. Let cool completely on rack.
