Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 125 grams Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 15 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 60 milliliters Cold water
• 200 grams Packed brown sugar
• 100 milliliters Corn syrup
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 50 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 125 grams Fresh blueberries

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add cold water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. Be careful not to overmix. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter (approximately 4 inches in diameter) to cut out circles of dough. Press each circle into the prepared muffin tin to form the tart shells.

Step 5

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Place a few fresh blueberries (about 4-5) in the bottom of each tart shell. Spoon the filling mixture over the blueberries, filling each tart shell about two-thirds full. The filling will puff up as it bakes, so avoid overfilling.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges of the tart shells are lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the tarts cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve at room temperature. Enjoy the buttery richness and burst of blueberry flavor in these irresistible buttertarts!
