Blueberry Pie: A Heart of Home recipe

Blueberry Pie

3 1/2 cups of All Purpose Flour

2 sticks of chilled unsalted butter

1 TBSP of white sugar

1/2 tsp of salt 

16oz of Frozen Wild Maine Blueberries, defrosted
1 TBSP of white sugar
                                                      2 TSP of Lemon Juice
                                                      2 TSP of butter

1) Make Pie Crust
Shift flour into a cool bowl. Cut butter into very small pieces, adding a handful at a time to flour and enfold. Once all the butter is folded into the flour, add sugar and salt. Fold. 

Using ice cold water, add 1 TBSP of water at a time to flour mixture until dough comes together. Then, roll dough into a ball and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes. 

2) Make Pie Filling
Place defrosted blueberries into a medium bowl and sprinkle with sugar. Add lemon juice and gentle fold until incorporated. Allow to sit at room temperature, cover in plastic wrap.

3) Rolling Out The Crust

Preheat Oven to 425 F

Remove dough from fridge. Cut your dough ball in half. Place a dry kitchen towel a large cutting board to avoid spilling while rolling your dough. Dust cutting board liberally with all purpose flour. Dust your rolling pin and hands with flour. This will prevent your dough from sticking. Roll out your dough until it is large enough to cover a 9 inch pie dish. Prick the bottom crust across it's surface with a fork. Roll out your top crust and set aside.

4) Fill the Pie
Add blueberries and use a spatula to gentle level the filling. Cut remaining butter into small pieces and dot the blueberries evenly as possible.

5) Cover the Pie

Cover pie with top crust. Crimp the edges with your thumb and forefinger or use a fork. Using a sharp knife, slice vents in top crust. Dust pie with a pitch of sugar.

6) Bake The Pie

Bake Pie at 425 F for 15 minutes. Then reduce temperature to 350 F and bake for 40-60 minutes, until juices are bubbling around the edges. When done baking, remove pie from oven and cool on a cutting board for 60 minutes or until just warm.

!!Excellent served with just a drizzle of heavy cream!!
