1.
Preheat the oven to 150°C(130° fan)|300F|gas 2.

Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface into a large round approximately 1 cm | 1/2" thick. Use it to line the base and sides of a 20 cm | 8" fluted tart tin, cutting away any excess pastry.

Prick the base with a fork and fill with the blueberries.
