Wild Blueberry Pie
- 1/2 cup safflower oil
- 1/2 cup milk or yogurt, plus 2 tablespoons to help crust brown
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 1/2 cups wild blueberries
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Combine the oil, milk or yogurt, and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Stir in the flour to form a ball of dough, adding a little oil and milk or yogurt if necessary to keep the ball together.
- Separate the dough into two balls and place them in the refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the filling ingredients - the berries, sugar, lemon juice, and nutmeg.
- Dissolve the cornstarch in the 4 tablespoons of water and stir well into the other ingredients.
- Roll out the chilled dough into bottom and top crusts for an 8- or 9-inch pie pan.
- To prevent sticking, place the dough discs between sheets of wax paper.
- Roll from the center to the perimeter, turning them over a few times, so that the discs will be formed evenly.
- Peel off the paper.
- Place the bottom round in the ungreased pie pan and trim off the dough along the rim.
- Spoon in the filling and top it with pats of the butter.
- Put the top in place, pinching along the perimeter.
- To help the crust develop a good color, brush the 2 tablespoons of milk or yogurt over the top and sprinkle the tablespoon of sugar.
- Make a few cuts in the top to let the steam our.
- Bake initially at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375 degrees and cook for another 35 minutes or until the crust shows good color.
