Instructions
- First we will make a crust.
- Take a food processor and add flour, salt and sugar.
- Now turn on the food processor. Set at low speed.
- Now add a chunk of cold butter one by one.
- When the mixture combines wells and looks like coarse crumbs.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice and 6 to 7 spoon iced water slowly.
- When dough combines well take out from the processor and dump it on counter.
- Divide the dough into two pieces and wrap it with plastic wrap.
- Keep both the wraps in the fridge for at least 45 minutes. You can chill overnight too.
- Now we will make the filling.
- Take a bowl and add blueberries to it.
- Now add sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt and toss and combine well. Keep it aside.
- Preheat the microwave oven and set the temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Take out the dough wraps from the fridge and keep them aside for 10 minutes.
- Now place silicon sheet on the counter and sprinkle some flour and also sprinkle on the rolling pin.
- Take one piece of dough and with the help of a rolling pin roll it into a big circle.
- Now slowly peel the roll off the counter surface and gently place it backward on the rolling pin and then place it on a pie plate.
- Now gently press the crust dough on the bottom of the 9-inch pie plate and also set over the edges.
- Now make a layer of blueberry filling prepared earlier. With the help of a spatula smooth the top.
- Now sprinkle flour on counterpart and rolling pin and roll out another dough piece in a large roll.
- Now with the pizza cutter or knife cut 10 long strips.
- Now place strip one by one and place around 5 strips horizontally and then lift every other strip halfway through. Now place strip and place lifted strip back on. Repeat the process with the remaining strips. Create lattice pattern.
- Trim the dough from the edges of the pie plate and press on the edges so it holds together.
- Take a bowl and add one egg and 1tbsp to it and mix it.
- Now brush egg wash over the top. This will give golden color to the dish. Brush with a light hand so that not much egg wash is added.
- Now sprinkle coarse sugar.
- Now carefully place foil wrap around the pie plate and bake it for 10 minutes in 400 degrees Fahrenheit and later reduce the temperature to 375 and bake for 35 to 45 minutes more.
- When the color of the crust turns brown turn off the microwave and carefully takes out the pie plate.
- When the pie cools down up to room temperature add ice cream or whipped cream on the top and serve.
Tips
Keep an eye on pie to ensure its baking evenly.
