Ingredients
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter
  • 1 cup stone ground whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold water (or less)
Wild Blueberry Filling
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 cups frozen wild blueberries
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 egg yolk for the egg wash
Instructions
  1. Cut the butter into small chunks.
  2. In a food processor or with a pastry cutter (or your hands!), slowly pulse together butter, flours, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and salt. Once just barely combined and there are still a few chunks of butter, slowly add in cold water until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto the counter and knead it together for about a minute. Wrap it in saran wrap and put it in the fridge for 1 hour.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  5. When the crust is chilled, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and roll out the dough into a shaggy circle.
  6. Toss together the frozen blueberries, 1 tablespoon flour, lemon juice, zest, ginger, and vanilla. Mound them into a heap in the middle of the dough and fold up the edges so it stays a bit contained. Brush the crust with a beaten egg yolk to make it shiny.
  7. Reduce the heat of the oven to 400 degrees and place the tart in the oven. Bake the tart for 40-45 minutes. Allow it to cool a bit before serving.
