  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 34 tbsp ice water
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (for sprinkling)
  • Honey and thyme sprigs for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ice water, 1 tbsp at a time, until dough just comes together. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, toss blueberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and vanilla.
  5. On a floured surface, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
  6. Pile blueberry mixture in the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold edges over fruit, pleating as needed.
  7. Brush crust with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  8. Bake 35–40 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
  9. Cool slightly. Serve warm with honey and thyme, if desired.

Notes

  • For extra Elvish flair, serve with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or crème fraîche.
  • Use frozen blueberries in a pinch — just thaw and drain excess liquid first.
  • Roll dough between two sheets of parchment for easy transfer.
