Making blueberry pie for dessert 🫐🥧 Part 25/50 - Making Every US States Most Popular Dessert I cannot believe we are officially halfway through this series! What state would you like to see me make next?? Pie Crust: Ingredients: - 2 ½ cups all purpose flour - 1 teaspoon salt - 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled and cubed - ⅔ cup vegetable shortening, chilled - ½ cup ice cold water Instructions: - In a large bowl whisk together all-purpose flour and salt. - Add butter and shortening to the bowl, and using two forks cut the butter and shortening into the flour mixture. The goal is a coarse meal, do not overwork/overmix. - Measure out ½ cup of water, and add a couple of ice cubes to cool the water down, waiting until the ice cubes are fully melted. - Drizzle the cold water into the bowl, 1 tablespoon at a time making sure to use a rubber spatula to mix thoroughly between adding water. Stop adding water when the dough begins to form a large clump and do not add any more water than you need. - Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Using floured hands, fold the dough into itself until the flour is fully incorporated into the fats. Avoid overworking the dough. - Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. - Once the dough has chilled for at least 2 hours, split the dough and put the other half back into the fridge. Lightly flour your work surface and begin to roll out the dough. Roll the dough into a very thin 12-inch circle which should fit a 9in pie pan. - Using a rolling pin, transfer the disc into your pie pan, trimming the edges. - Using a fork, poke the bottom of the pie crust 10-15 times. - Lay parchment paper in the center of the pie pan and weigh down with pie weights or beans like I did in the video. - Blind bake the bottom half, in an oven set to 375° for 20 minutes. - Take out of the oven and take pie weights out. Add your blueberry pie filling in and level. - Increase the oven temperature to 400°. - Repeat STEP number 7 with #7e other half of the dough. Once a 12-inch circle has been achieved, slice strips of dough evenly with a sharp knife or a pizza cutter. - Lay the strips of dough over and under each other to form a lattice design over the blueberry filling. Once you have completed the lattice design, trim off excess dough. - Bake in an oven set to 400° for 10 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350° and continue cooking for another 30-40 minutes or until the top is a golden brown. - Let cool for 3-4 hours before slicing and serving. - Enjoy! Blueberry Pie Filling: Ingredients: - 4 pints blueberries - ¼ cup granulated sugar - ¼ cup water - 2 ½ tablespoons corn starch - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Instructions: - In a medium saucepan add (3) pints of blueberries, the granulated sugar, and the water. Heat over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, the mixture will thicken quite a bit. - Take off the heat and add the last pint of blueberries and the unsalted butter. - Fold the mixture together until the butter is melted. - Set aside until ready to use. #fyp #baking #dessert #pie #pies
