Today we will plunge into a fairy tale. Whoever has the opportunity takes a basket and goes into the forest to get blueberries for our pie. The rest can buy it at the nearest store, or from a grandmother at the market who has just returned from the forest. Let's make blueberry pie from shortcrust pastry. You'll love this dessert, so freeze blueberries for your future pies. It is easy to prepare, so it does not require special culinary skills.

Kitchen appliances: oven, baking dish and mixer.

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 sellers choose berry picking places closer to the road, so there can be no question of the environmental friendliness of their blueberries. Here you only need to rely on responsibility or buy from those sellers whose blueberries you are confident in the quality of. Normal blueberries are dark, 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 knead the dough well until smooth. And add a second glass of flour.

3. Place the resulting 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 equal 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.
8. Roll out the second part of the dough and cover our pie with it. Remove excess dough and fold the edges in a circle. Poke the entire surface of the pie with a fork to allow air to escape.

9. Place the pie in the oven for 35 minutes, which is already turned on at 180 degrees.

10. A golden crust on the pie will indicate that it is ready. We take it out and leave it to cool for 2.5 hours, if you and your family can withstand that much time.
