Outstanding

The rich, buttery pastry dough is easy and forgiving. Simply roll it out onto parchment paper with a lightly floured rolling pin, and then use the parchment to transfer it to a baking sheet. If you're lucky enough to find wild blueberries like the ones that grow in Maine, use them in this rustic summer tart.

Yield: 10 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)

Ingredients

  • Pastry:
  • 1 3/4  cups  all-purpose flour (about 7 3/4 ounces)
  • 1/3  cup  granulated sugar
  • 1/4  cup  cornmeal
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/2  cup  cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/3  cup  fat-free buttermilk

  • Filling:
  • 4  cups  blueberries
  • 2  cups  blackberries
  • 1/2  cup  granulated sugar
  • 3  tablespoons  all-purpose flour
  • 2  tablespoons  lemon juice
  • 2  tablespoons  fat-free milk
  • 1  large egg white
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  turbinado sugar

Preparation

1. To prepare pastry, lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients (through salt) in a food processor; pulse two times. Add butter to flour mixture; pulse 4 to 5 times or until mixture resembles coarse meal. With processor on, slowly add buttermilk through food chute; process just until dough forms a ball. Gently press dough into a 4-inch circle on plastic wrap; cover. Chill 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 350°.

3. Unwrap and place dough on a sheet of parchment paper. Roll dough into a 15-inch circle. Place dough and parchment on a baking sheet.

4. To prepare filling, combine berries and next 3 ingredients (through juice) in a medium bowl; toss gently to coat. Arrange berry mixture in center of dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges of dough toward center, pressing gently to seal (dough will only partially cover berry mixture).

5. Combine fat-free milk and egg white in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Brush dough with milk mixture; sprinkle turbinado sugar evenly over dough. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until pastry is golden brown. Let stand 30 minutes; cut into wedges.

This is a great recipe that, aside from the dough rolling, is very easy to prepare. I second the suggestion to use plastic wrap to make rolling the dough easier. I really enjoyed this because it isn't too sweet. However, I thought the filling had too much of a flour texture, which is why I only gave this four stars.08/02/09

Used all fresh blueberries. Tasted great, however I used the weight given to measure the flour, and the dough was really gooey. Maybe the cup measure is more accurate?07/15/09
