Ingredients:

    Dough:

  • 2 cups premium wheat flour
  • 1 tbsp. sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons of water
  • 1/2 tbsp vinegar
  • Flour, for working with dough
  • Sugar, for sprinkling the surface of the pie

    Filling:

  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 cups blueberries
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Preparation:

  1. Filling: Combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and water. Place in a saucepan and heat quickly until thickened. Let cool while you prepare the batter. Once cool, stir in the blueberries and lemon juice.
  2. Preheat oven to 220°C.

    Mix the flour, sugar, and salt. Cut the shortening. Mix the eggs, water, and vinegar. Add the flour mixture, stirring lightly with a fork. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured cutting board and knead it with your hands. Divide into 2 separate layers. Line the bottom of a pie pan with one layer of dough.
  3. Pour the filling into a lined pan and spritz with lemon juice. Place the second layer of dough on top, poke holes to allow steam to escape, and shape the edge into a shaped border. Lightly sprinkle the surface with sugar. Place the pie on a baking sheet in the oven for 20 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for another 20-25 minutes. Let cool, slice, and enjoy!
