A delicious and easy-to-make blueberry pie with a buttery crust and sweet blueberry filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 5 cups blueberries
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 4 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 egg for egg wash
Instructions
- In a food processor, add 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1 1/4 cup of cold unsalted butter. Pulse on high speed until butter becomes the size of a pea.
- Place the dough ingredients into a large bowl and pour 1/2 cup of buttermilk in. Then mix it all together.
- Form the dough into a ball and divide it into two equal pieces. Shape each piece into a disk and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the blueberry filling. In a large bowl, add 5 cups of blueberries, 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 4 tbsp cornstarch. Roughly mix the dry ingredients, then add 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix again.
- Take out one of the dough pieces and place it on a floured surface. Roll it out to about 13 to 14 inches in diameter.
- Place the rolled dough into a 9-inch pie dish and add the blueberry filling inside. Evenly place 1 tbsp of cubed unsalted butter on top.
- Roll out the second piece of dough to about 13 inches in diameter and slice out 12 (3/4-inch) strips using a pastry wheel.
- Place 6 strips evenly spaced on top of the pie dish vertically. Pull back the odd-numbered strips (1,3,5) and lay 1 strip across. Place the odd strips back. Peel back the even-numbered strips (2,4,6) and place another strip across. Continue this pattern until all remaining strips are laid on.
- Trim the edges of the pie with a sharp knife.
- Brush the pie with egg wash and bake at 370° Fahrenheit for about 50 minutes.
Notes
- Chill the dough well to ensure a flaky crust.
- You can use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available; just add a little more cornstarch.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat.
