Blueberry Pie
Ingredients 1 pie
200 gr white sugar50 gr corn starch2 ml salt3 ml. cinnamon
1 liter blueberryPie crust15 gr butter Method 1. Mix sugar, cornstarch,
salt, and cinnamon, and sprinkle over blueberries. Pastry Ingredients
600 gr all
purpose flour
30 gr white
sugar5 ml salt150 gr butter150 gr.
shortening75 gr water 1. Whisk the
600 gr flour, 30 ml sugar and salt together in a large bowl.
2. Mix the
butter and shortening into the flour, and toss lightly with your fingers until
it’s thoroughly combined and looks like little nuggets.
3. Sprinkle the water and
stir with your fingers, mixing and firmly kneading until the dough comes together in a
ball.
4. Wrap in plastic wrap, flatten and chill for at least 30 minutes, or even
overnight. Resting tenderizes the pastry, making it easier to roll.
5. Remove the pastry from the refrigerator and allow it to warm slightly, just
until it’s pliable. Lightly flour your hands, the rolling pin, your work
surface and the dough.
6. Roll out the pastry into a circle large enough to slightly overlap the edges
of a pie dish. As you roll, for ease of handling, lightly flour the dough every
time its diameter doubles, then flip it over and continue rolling.
7. Transfer the
dough to the pie dish by folding it into quarters then unfolding it in the
dish.
8. Preheat your oven to 190°C.
9. Add the blueberry mixture to the bottom crust. Roll out the remaining dough
for the top of the pie.10. Make regular crust or lattice
top. Crimp and flute edges egg wash the top
10.Bake for an hour or so, until the crust is golden
