Ingredients

How to make it

  • Crust:
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl add your flour and salt. Mix to combine.
  • Remove 1/3 of the flour mixture and place in a small bowl, add your water to this small amount of flour.
  • Add your shortening to the large flour mixture; using a fork (or pastry blender) combine to form small pea sized pieces.
  • Add the flour/ water mixture to the large flour mixture and combine. I use my hands to make sure that all the ingredients are blended together.
  • Dust your work surface with a large amount of flour and knead the dough 10 times (ONLY!!!). Over kneading will result in a tough crust.
  • Cut the dough in 1/2 and roll out one part for the bottom of your pie pan. Make sure your dough hangs over by 1 inch or so to make a nice edge.
  • Roll your top crust and set aside. I cut my crust into long strips to make a lattice top.
  • Filling:
  • Combine the Blueberries through the Cinnamon in a large bowl and stir to combine. Make sure that you really stir well so that the cornstarch is really mixed in.
  • Pour the mixture into the bottom crust and top with the butter. Scatter the butter evenly around the filling.
  • Top with the remaining crust and cut slits into it to help steam escape.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 45 minutes.
  • Cool on a rack and enjoy!!!
