Blueberry pie
Ingredients:
250 g flour
150 g butter
100 g sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
500 g blueberries
100 g sugar
2 tablespoons starch
juice of half a lemon
cream for decoration (optional)
Instructions:
Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add the chopped butter and rub it into the flour until you get tiny pieces. Add sugar, egg and vanilla extract, kneading the dough until smooth.
Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in film. Leave the dough to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
At this time, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Stir until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Divide the dough into two parts – one for the bottom of the pie, the other for the top. Roll half of the dough into the bottom of the baking dish, making sure the dough covers the bottom and sides.
Pour the filling into the prepared pan.
Roll out the second part of the dough and cut it into narrow strips. Arrange the strips through the filling in a lattice pattern.
Brush the top of the pie with egg and place in the oven. Bake the pie for 45—50 minutes until the crust is golden.
Let the pie sit for 15—20 minutes before serving.
Serve pie with whipped cream, if desired.
