Now we will plunge into a fairy tale. Whoever has the opportunity, takes the wicker and goes into the forest to get blueberries for our pie. Others can buy it at a nearby store, or from a grandmother at the market who has just returned from the forest. Let's make blueberry pie from shortcrust pastry.

Ingredients

Choosing the right products

If you decide to go to the forest for blueberries, then pick them in the thicket, and not on the outskirts. Blueberries collected near highways absorb all exhaust gases. The deeper you go into the forest to pick berries, the more environmentally friendly they will be. By the way, blueberry traders choose berry picking places closer to the road, so there can be no question of the environmental friendliness of their blueberries. Here it is necessary to assign only responsibility or buy from those sellers whose blueberries you are convinced of the quality of. Regular blueberries are black, without light spots.

Step by step recipe

1. Place 100 g of butter and 250 g of sugar in a deep bowl. Beat with a mixer until smooth.
   
2. Add 1 egg and 2 tbsp. l. sour cream. Mix all the ingredients. Add 1 cup flour and 1 tablespoon baking powder. Mix everything, preferably with your hands. This way you can perfectly knead the dough until smooth. And add the 2nd glass of flour.
   
3. Place the purchased dough in a disposable bag and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
   
4. Before starting to work with the dough, I recommend turning on the oven to 180 degrees. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and divide it into two similar parts. Knead the first part with your hands and roll it out into a layer, sprinkling it well with flour.
   
5. Place it in a deep baking dish. We used a silicone mold. You can use the one you have at home. If the mold is not silicone, sprinkle it with flour.
   
6. Level the dough into shape and pour half of the blueberries into it. Sprinkle 50 g of sugar generously on top of the berries.
   
7. Pour in the remaining blueberries and also sprinkle with 50 g of sugar.

Two blueberry pies, recipes: shortcrust pastry, various entrails

Closed blueberry shortcake and cheesecake. Berry Pie Recipes

Lena Demyanko food photographer

The blueberry harvest is about to begin - or maybe it has already arrived in some places? Then you can't do without blueberry pies - add two shortcrust pastry pies to your blueberry recipes. One is a regular closed berry pie, the second is a cheesecake with blueberry insides. Naturally, you need to prepare blueberries for the winter, but getting a taste of summer is still more important!

I love berry pies. A narrow sandy base, a sea of ​​warm berry interior and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Summer, how can you not adore you? When strawberries are replaced by blueberries, blueberries follow. You leave the market with a real treasure! And later, you take a box of blueberries out of the refrigerator and after 1.5 hours you are already enjoying a warm pie, the crispy dough of which drowns in the savory and viscous interior, and the cold ice cream strives to mix with the berry juice.

Blueberry Shortcrust Pie

Dough:

• (cup 250 ml)
• 2 cups flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 150g cool butter, cubed
• 1 tbsp. l. sweet powder
• 4-5 tbsp. l. ice water

Interior:

• 3 cups blueberries
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup flour

• 1/3 tsp. cinnamon
• 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice

2. Mix flour, sweet powder and salt. Add oil and chop in a blender bowl or quickly rub with your fingers. Add ice water evenly until desired mixture is achieved.
3. Divide the finished dough into 2 parts (one a little more). Wrap the smallest part in film and put it in the refrigerator. Roll out the other one and line the bottom and edges of the mold 20-21 cm in diameter.
4. For the inside of the pie, combine sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, lemon zest and juice. Add blueberries and mix gently. Place in the form with the dough.
5. Roll out the second part of the dough and cover the filling with it. Connect the top and bottom layers of dough, create cuts in the top layer of dough. If desired, brush with milk or egg and sprinkle with brown sugar.
6. Cover the edges of the pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for another 10-20 minutes. Let sit for 30 minutes and serve warm with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or Greek yogurt.

Blueberry and Cream Cheese Pie

After the traditional blueberry pie, I wanted something cheesecake-like, creamy, creamy, but definitely with blueberries! In my head, the recipes were divided into two groups: those that need to be baked and those without baking. And the choice fell on this actual cheesecake with a huge amount of blueberries.

The pie came out great! The base is like a tart, it has a dense creamy interior, into which the catchy blueberry layer is drowned! This pie immediately made it onto the list of our favorites. In addition, it can be prepared in winter with frozen blueberries.

Dough:

• (cup 250 ml)
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 85g cool butter, cubed
• 1 tbsp. l. sweet powder
• 2-4 tbsp. l. ice water

Interior:

• 230 g cream cheese (or cottage cheese)
• 1/2 cup of full-fat sour cream
• 1/2 cup small sugar
• 1 testicle
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• zest of 1 lemon
• a pinch of salt
• 3 cups blueberries
• 2 tbsp. l. starch
• 1/4 cup small sugar
• 1 tbsp. l. lemon juice

Blueberry and lemon muffin pie

Bulk pie has been familiar to all of us since our youth. Usually it consists of two layers of fairly dense shortcrust pastry with a small amount of berries or fruit inside. I'm not very fond of the traditional version and suggest you prepare melt-in-your-mouth shortbread squares with juicy blueberries and lemon. In fact, this is not even a pie, but the most delicate berry cookies, which in foreign sources would be called bars (bars) or squares.

Let's take a closer look at the differences.

Bulk pie dough

It makes sense that shortbread dough is ideal for this type of baking. I can’t imagine what else can be poured in. :)

The main mistakes when working with shortcrust pastry:

- knead until smooth,

- excessively active compaction into the mold,

-rolling the leftovers into a cylinder to later freeze and grate,

My version of the loose pie contains slightly less flour than necessary, so it is quite soft and creamy, and small pieces of nuts provide the texture.

Also, I don’t use a lot of dough, so it soaks in the insides better, and the taste comes out more balanced.

I came across the “3 cups” bulk pie on the Internet; it’s usually made with apples. How it got into the bulk category is a mystery to me, because in it the dry ingredients and the inside are filled with a milky-egg consistency. They would have called it a jellied pie with apples back then. :)

Bulk pie interior

I chose blueberries simply because I bought them to freeze and they turned out to be somewhat squashed. You can take any seasonal or frozen berries. Fruits, of course, are also suitable. In September, you can prepare good squares with plums, apples or lingonberries and cardamom. If the inside is the least juicy, use less starch. For example, apples do not need it at all.

It’s even easier to create a bulk pie with jam. It will be a good treat for those with a sweet tooth.

Sugar in the recipe

We love evenly sweet baked goods and desserts, so I try to reduce the amount of sugar wherever possible without losing the sweetness. This pie is no exception.

By the way, the less sugar, the less crispy the dough comes out.

Now everyone who has read the introduction to the bulk pie recipe literally knows how to create it from soft and super tender to crispy and crumbly:

- increase the amount of flour a little, no more than 20-30 g,

- add more sugar, up to 2/3-3/4 of the weight of flour.

It’s convenient to take these blueberry squares with you on a walk in the park and drink fragrant tea from a thermos with them. And if the first dessert for such a walk is not enough for you, take another look

Blueberry and lemon muffin pie

A new version of the traditional muffin pie. Melt-in-your-mouth shortbread squares with juicy ripe blueberry interiors and a tart hint of lemon.
