Ingredients

•1¼ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
•½ cup chilled unsalted butter
•½ teaspoon kosher salt
•⅔ cup sugar
•2½ tablespoons cornstarch
•1 teaspoon lemon zest and juice
•5 cups fresh blueberries
•¾ cup unbleached all-purpose flour

Cooking Instructions

1.
Pulse 1 1/4 cups flour, butter, and salt in a food processor until mixture resembles coarse meal with some pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle 3 tablespoons ice water over mixture. Pulse until moist clumps form, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if mixture is dry. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Divide into 4 equal pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time, use the heel of your hand to smear each portion of dough twice in a forward motion to distribute butter. Gather all 4 dough pieces into a ball. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill dough until firm, at least 1 hour.
