Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 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, cubed
- 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.
- 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. Mix the dry ingredients, then add 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix again.
- Roll out one piece of dough on a floured surface to about 13 to 14 inches in diameter, then place it in a 9-inch pie dish and fill with blueberry mixture. Dot with 1 tbsp of cubed butter.
- Roll out the second piece of dough to about 13 inches in diameter and slice into 12 (3/4 inch) strips.
- Place 6 strips evenly spaced on top of the pie dish vertically. Alternate pulling back the odd and even strips to weave the remaining strips across.
- 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
- For best results, chill the dough properly to achieve a flaky crust.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the filling according to taste.
- Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delicious treat.
