Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon lemon extract
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 cup butter, at room temperature
• 3 cups blueberries
• 0.25 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup powdered sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.

Step 3

Mix together flour, butter, and powdered sugar in a large bowl until a dough forms. Press dough into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Step 4

Meanwhile, toss blueberries with cornstarch in a large bowl until evenly coated. Transfer blueberries to a large saucepan over low heat. Add sugar and lemon extract; mix well. Simmer, stirring gently to avoid crushing berries, until sugar dissolves and filling thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 5

Pour hot blueberry mixture over cooled crust. Let cool before slicing.
