Ingredients
For the pastry:
- 250 g plain flour
- 40 g caster sugar
- 150 g chilled butter, chopped
- 2-3 tbs iced water
For the tart filling:
- 200 g blueberries (see note)
- 4 eggs
- 140 g caster sugar
- 150 g thickened cream
- juice from 2 lemons
- 2 tbs lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
- Place the flour, caster sugar and butter into the Thermomix bowl and mix on Speed 6, 10 seconds (it should resemble breadcrumbs).
- Add 2 tbs iced water and knead for 1 minute on Interval speed. If the dough is too crumbly to knead into a ball, add the remaining 1 tbs iced water and knead on Interval speed for a further 30 seconds.
- Knead the dough into a ball on a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough into a flat rectangle and place evenly into a 23cm tart tin. Poke the bottom evenly with a fork and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden.
- Place the blueberries onto the cooked pastry and set aside.
- To make the filling, place the eggs, caster sugar, cream and lemon juice into the Thermomix bowl. Mix on Speed 10, 30 seconds. Carefully pour the mixture through a sieve to remove any lumps.
- Stir through the lemon zest and pour the mixture into the tart tin.
- Cook for 30-35 minutes or until set in the middle. Remove and allow to cool completely in the tin.
- Serve with sifted icing sugar, a dollop of cream or a scoop of ice-cream.
