Blueberry Custard Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 1/3 cup all purpose flour
    14 tbsp butter (1 1/2 sticks)
    1 cup granulated sugar, divided
    2 tbsp instant vanilla pudding powder
    2 1/8 cup skim milk
    1 None vanilla pod, halved lengthways, seeds scraped out
    2 tbsp blueberry jam
    8 oz blueberries
    3 tbsp powdered sugar
Preparation
    Grease a 10 inch fluted tart pan with removable bottom. Knead the flour, butter and 1/2 cup sugar with the dough hook of a mixer until smooth. Shape into a ball, wrap and chill for 30 mins.
    Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 12 inch diameter circle. Place the dough into the tart pan, press into the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15-20 mins or until slightly browned. Allow to cool.
    In a bowl, mix the custard powder and 3 tbsp milk. In a saucepan, bring the vanilla pod and seeds, remaining milk and 1/2 cup sugar to a boil. Remove the vanilla pod, then stir in the custard. Simmer for 1 min, then allow to cool.
    Spread the jam onto the pastry base. Spoon over the custard and smooth out, then top with the blueberries. Chill for 4 hours. Dust with powdered sugar to serve.
