- 6 to 8 tablespoons ice water
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 6 cups fresh blueberries, cleaned
- To make the crust, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons of sugar and salt in a large bowl.
- Use your fingers to rub in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Gradually and lightly mix in just enough ice water so the dough can be gently pressed into a ball.
- Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- To make the filling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine the sugar, cinnamon, flour and orange zest.
- Place the blueberries in a large bowl and toss with the sugar mixture.
- Divide the dough in half and roll out 1 piece on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch pie plate.
- Place the filling in the dish.
- Roll out the remaining dough, cut 1/2-inch-wide strips and weave into a lattice top.
- Seal, trim and crimp the edges.
- Brush the top pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle it with the remaining sugar.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Reduce temperature to 325 and bake until crust is browned and filling is set, about 20 minutes longer.
- Cool on a rack.
- Cut into wedges and serve.
