Finnish Blueberry Tart

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Finnish Blueberry Tart.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper.

2. Step 2

   This will make it easy to lift out your delicious creation later.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine 3/4 cup of sugar with softened butter, and cream them together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy—this is where the magic begins! Next, beat in an egg until everything is well blended.

   Now, it’s time to add a little lift to your dough.

5. Step 5

   Sprinkle in the baking powder, then gradually mix in the flour, alternating with a few tablespoons of milk.

6. Step 6

   Keep stirring until everything is fully combined; your dough will be sticky, much like a sweet sugar cookie dough.

7. Step 7

   Once your dough is ready, spread it evenly into the prepared baking dish, making sure to create a lovely raised edge around the perimeter.

8. Step 8

   This will hold in all the deliciousness to come! In a separate bowl, take some fresh blueberries and toss them with 1/2 cup of sugar.

9. Step 9

   Using a potato masher, gently mash the berries until they’re slightly broken down, releasing their sweet juices.

10. Step 10

    Spread this vibrant blueberry mixture evenly over your crust, letting those beautiful berries shine.
