Ingredients
•
2 cups all-purpose flour
•
1 cup butter, at room temperature
•
1/2 cup powdered sugar
•
3 cups blueberries
•
2 tablespoons cornstarch
•
1/4 cup white sugar
•
1 teaspoon lemon extract
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
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.
3
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly.
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.
5
Pour hot blueberry filling over cooled crust. Cool before slicing.
