Blueberry Pie

Found out there is a blueberry bush in the backyard, so I decided to pick a bunch and make some pie :)



Ingredients:

Crust

  • 3 cups ( plus extra ) flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 + 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup water
Center
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 6 cups blueberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg 









Instructions:
  1. Make the insides before the crust, it needs to cool before being baked!
  2. Melt butter in saucepan on medium heat, add flour and stir to combine
  3. Add half the blueberries and all the sugar and cook for about 8 minutes
  4. Once the sugar is dissolved and mixture has thickened, add the remaining blueberries and ingredients
  5. Stir to combine, for two minutes then remove from heat
  6. Let filling cool, preheat oven to 375 degrees F and begin crust
  7. Mix the flour, salt, butter and water together until no longer sticky
  8. Roll out thin pie crust (this made enough for two crusts for me!)
  9. Place pie crust in pan then fill with blueberry filling
  10. Place in oven and bake for 50-60 minutes (or until crust is browning)
By the way...tastes great with ice cream ;)
