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

Combine flour, butter, and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl until a dough forms; press into a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Meanwhile, toss blueberries and cornstarch together in a large bowl until evenly coated; transfer to a large saucepan over low heat. Stir in white sugar and lemon extract; simmer, stirring gently to avoid crushing berries, until sugar dissolves and filling thickens, 5 to 8 minutes.

Step 5

Pour hot blueberry filling over cooled crust. Cool before slicing.
