Makes 12
* 3 tablespoons sugar * 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour * ¾ teaspoon salt * 2/3 cup unsalted butter, chilled, cut in bits * 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice * 3 tablespoons ice water * 1 pint blueberries, washed * 2 tablespoons honey * 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon rind * Whipped cream (optional)
Combine the sugar, flour and salt in a food processor and pulse several times to mix. Add the butter and process until mixture is the texture of coarse meal. Add lemon juice and water, and process until dough begins to form a ball. Gather into a ball, flatten slightly between sheets of waxed paper, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll out dough to about ¼-inch thick and cut into 5-inch circles. (Use a coffee or shortening can to cut these circles.) Line 12 muffin cups with the dough, then prick the bottoms and sides with the tines of a fork. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden. Check several times for the air bubbles that can form as the dough bakes and pierce them with the point of a knife as they appear. Cool partially in the pan, then carefully lift out.
Combine the berries, honey and lemon rind, then use to fill each cup. Top with a dab of whipped cream, if you like.
