- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the flour, ground almonds, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the beaten egg and pulse until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
