BLUEBERRY TART

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
3 cups blueberries, picked over

1 1/4 cups blueberries, picked over
vanilla ice cream as an accompaniment if desired

In a bowl stir together the flour, the sugar, and a pinch of salt,
add the butter and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse
meal.  Add 1 1/2 tablespoons cold water, toss the mixture until
the water is incorporated, and form the dough into a ball.  (The
dough will be slightly soft.)  With well floured hands press the
dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan
with a removable fluted rim.

In a large bowl stir together the sugar, the flour, the cinnamon,
and the nutmeg, add the blueberries, and toss the mixture lightly.

Pour the blueberry filling into the shell, distributing it evenly,
and bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 400 degree F oven
for 50 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the shell is
golden brown.  Let the tart cool on a rack for 5 minutes, arrange
the blueberries evenly over the filling and let the tart cool
completely.  Serve the tart with the vanilla ice cream if desired.
