Blueberry-Lemon Pie With a Butter Crust
- 2 12 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 34 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 9 ounces cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes (2 sticks plus 2 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 6 cups blueberries
- 34 cup sugar, plus more for dusting the pie
- 5 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 grated lemon, juice and zest of
- 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into thin pats
- heavy cream, for brushing the pie
- ice cream, for serving
- For the flaky butter pie crust: Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the butter and cut it in with a pastry blender until the largest pieces are the size of small peas and the mixture begins to clump on the pastry blender.
- Shuffle through the mixture with your hands, pinching chunks of fat to flatten them.
- Stir the vinegar and 5 tablespoons ice water together in a bowl.
- Add the liquid to the flour mixture and stir with a fork.
- Pinch a clump of dough in your hands: If it feels moist and clumps together easily, it's probably hydrated enough.
- If it feels really crumbly, add another tablespoon or two of ice water until you can form a baseball-size clump of dough, packing it on as if you were making a snowball.
- Divide the dough in half and form each half into a flat disk.
- Wrap both disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
- Thirty minutes before you're ready to roll out the dough, remove it from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature to soften.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- For the blueberry filling: In a bowl, toss the blueberries with the sugar, cornstarch and lemon zest and juice and mix until combined.
- Dust a worktop and rolling pin with flour.
- Roll out one dough disk a little less than 14 inch thick, about 14 inches in diameter.
- Fold the dough in half and transfer it to a 9- or 10-inch pie plate.
- Unfold.
- Press the dough into the corners, leaving the overhang for now.
- Refrigerate the first crust while you roll out the second disk of dough.
- Remove the bottom crust from the refrigerator and fill it with the berry mixture.
- Tuck the pats of cold butter beneath the top layer of berries.
- Top with the second piece of dough, and trim both to a 1/2-inch overhang around the pie.
- Tuck the overhang into a roll and crimp the edge, pressing down to hook some of the dough over the edge of the dish, holding the pie.
- Cut a hole in the center of the pie, as well as some decorative vents.
- Brush the top of the pie with cream and dust it with sugar.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Cover the edges of the pie with foil and continue to bake until the center juices bubble and thicken, 25 to 35 minutes more.
- Let the pie cool until it is just warm to the touch before slicing and serving.
- Top with ice cream.
