Let Them Eat Pie

Ingredients

PASTRY

  • 2 cups 81/2 ounces King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup 16 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup cold sour cream

FILLING

  • 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch or 1 tablespoon Instant ClearJel*
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt a large pinch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • *For frozen berries use 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch or 1 1/2 tablespoons ClearJel.

TOPPING

  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 2 tablespoons white sparkling sugar for garnish

Instructions

  • The directions can be found here on the King Arthur Flour site.
  • Optional changes include:
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon lemon zest to the blueberry filling
  • Omit sparkling sugar and egg wash, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  • I'm sure this would work with any seasonal fruit including strawberries and lime, or peaches with hint of almond extract...go for it!
