Equipment

  • The Oven

Ingredients

Flaky Pie Pastry

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 ounces cold unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons ice water

Filling

  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Make the Flaky Pie Pastry

  • Mix the flour, sugar, and salt in a sizable bowl. Add the butter and pulse with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add 5 tablespoons of the water, stirring to barely moisten. Add the final 1 tablespoon of water while stirring the dough if it appears dry.
  • Knead the dough three times after transferring it to a lightly dusted board. The dough should be divided into two equal pieces, patted into 6-inch disks, wrapped in plastic, and chilled for at least an hour.
  • Roll the flaky pie crust into two 12-inch rounds that are 1/8 inch thick on a lightly dusted board. Fill a 9-inch glass pie plate with one round. The other round should be transferred to a baking sheet covered with wax paper. Keep chilled until you're ready to use.

Make the Filling

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a bowl, toss the berries with the sugar, flour, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Pour the filling into the lined pie plate.

Assemble and Bake the Pie

  • Place the top crust on top of the filling after lightly brushing the bottom crust's rim with water. Trim the dough overhang to a thickness of 1/2 inch, press the dough edges together, and then fold and crimp the overhang as desired. Make a 1-inch slash down the middle of the top crust with a sharp knife.
  • The pie should be baked for an hour, or until the crust is brown and the filling is boiling. Before serving, transfer to a wire rack to cool.
