Method
-
Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 20cm loose-bottomed fluted tart tin with melted butter. To make sweet shortcrust pastry, put flour, icing sugar and butterin the bowl of a food processor and pulse until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add egg and process until a dough ball forms. Shape into a disc and enclose in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 20 minutes or until firm.
-
Roll out dough between 2 sheets of baking paper until 3mm thick. Line prepared tin with dough and trim excess as necessary, then, using a fork, prick base several times. Bake for 15 minutes or until pastry is firm and golden. Cool.
-
Put lemon zest, juice, eggs, sugar and cream in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Strain into tart shell. Bake for 30 minutes or until filling is still a little wobbly in centre. Allow to cool completely in tin.
-
Sprinkle extra caster sugar over tart. Caramelise sugar using kitchen blowtorch, holding torch 5cm away from tart. Remove tart from tin and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with fresh blueberries and serve.
