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.

• 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.

BLUEBERRY "BANDANNA" TART

Steps:

• Pate Brisee: Pulse flour, granulated sugar, and salt in a food processor to combine. Pulse in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. With machine running, add water in a slow, steady stream until dough just holds together. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a square; wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
• Filling: Using a potato masher, mash 1 cup blueberries with granulated sugar and cornstarch in a large bowl. Stir in remaining 7 cups blueberries until well combined. Let stand 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough square to an 11-inch square. Fit into a 9-inch square fluted tart pan with removable bottom, gently pressing dough into sides. Spread blueberry mixture over dough.
• Roll out remaining dough square into an 11-inch square. Using small cutters, cut out shapes as desired, leaving at least a 2-inch border. If dough becomes too soft, refrigerate until firm. Carefully place dough over filling and trim overhang; press edges to seal. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush top crust with egg wash. Liberally sprinkle with sanding sugar. Place tart pan on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Bake 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Bake until filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes more (if crust is browning too quickly, cover with parchment-lined foil). Transfer pan to a wire rack; let cool completely. Unmold; cut into squares and serve.

BLUEBERRY TARTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Roll out the puff pastry to a uniform thickness. Cut out 4 rounds about 7 inches across. Fit the puff pastry into the tart shells. Trim the excess pastry, line the tart shells with aluminum foil, and weight the pastry with pie weights or rice. Bake the shells until golden brown at the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove the weights and foil and bake until the bottom of the shells are dry, 3 to 5 minutes. Set the tarts aside to cool.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, and 1 tablespoon of brandy. Spoon the blueberries into the tart shells.
• In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with the cream and the remaining brandy. Spoon the custard over the blueberries. (Keep in mind that the custard will expand slightly as it cooks so fill the shells to just below the crust edge.)
• Bake the tarts until the custard is set and lightly browned, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Serve the tarts with whipped cream, creme anglaise or vanilla ice cream.

STRAWBERRY "BANDANNA" TART

Steps:

• Combine strawberries and sugar, and let stand 1 hour. Drain, discarding liquid. Add cornstarch to berries, and stir.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out half the dough into an 11-inch square. Fit into a 9-inch square fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, pressing dough gently into sides. Prick bottom with a fork. Spread strawberry mixture over dough.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out remaining dough into an 11-inch square. Cut out shapes as desired (keeping at least a 2-inch border). If dough becomes too soft to work with, refrigerate until firm. Carefully place dough over filling, and trim any overhanging dough. Press edges to seal.
• Whisk together egg and water, and brush egg wash over top crust. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
• Place tart on a baking sheet, and bake 25 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 400 degrees. Bake until filling is bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. If crust browns too quickly, cover with parchment paper and then foil. Let cool completely before unmolding. Cut into squares, and serve.

BLUEBERRY AND VANILLA CUSTARD TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
• Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, cream of tartar, and salt for crust together in a medium bowl until combined. Mix in melted butter, egg yolk, and vanilla until combined. Firmly press 2/3 of the mixture into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared tart pan. Sprinkle remaining 1/3 of the mixture around the edges, then press firmly and evenly into the sides of the pan, creating a slightly raised edge over the top. Lightly prick the bottom of the crust with a fork several times, not going all the way through.
• Mix egg white and water together until combined. Brush a light layer of egg white over the bottom of the crust. Place the tart pan onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until the crust begins to brown, 25 to 27 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow crust to cool for 15 minutes. Leave the oven on.
• While crust is cooling, make the custard. Whisk together egg yolks, sugar, and salt until thick and light in color. Mix in vanilla extract. Gradually add heavy cream, mixing gently but thoroughly, to avoid incorporating too much air. Carefully pour custard into the cooled crust. (You may or may not have extra; just don't overfill.)
• Place tart back into the oven and bake until custard is just set and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature, at least 1 hour.
• While tart cools, make blueberry topping. Place blueberries and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until berries begin to burst and release their juices, about 15 minutes. Combine lemon juice and cornstarch in a small bowl or measuring cup. Add cornstarch mixture to the blueberries, stirring constantly, and cook until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
• When both the tart and the blueberries have cooled, carefully spoon blueberries over the top of the tart, and spread gently into an even layer. Place tart into the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. Remove sides of tart pan, slice, and serve.
