Ingredient notes

Blueberries- Use ripe blueberries for this recipe. They should be plump and not solid, with a deep blue color that has a gray dust.
lemon juice- This sour ingredient will balance the sweetness of the blueberry pie filling.
Corn starch- Covering the berries with starch helps to thicken the pie filling by mixing with the pectin while baking. Other starches can work, like tapioca and potatoes.
buttermilk– It adds a little sourness, but also makes the pie dough a delicious scramble. Prepare yourself if you do not have by combining 1/2 cup milk with 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar.
butter- Use salt-free for this pie so you can control the salt content. It gives the pie a buttery and scaly taste.

Additions and replacements

Use frozen blueberries- You can make these frozen berries, just keep them frozen until you are ready to use them. This way, they will not bleed their color and moisture, causing a wet pie.
Other filler replacement- You can make this recipe for homemade dough and add your favorite filling, such as apple, peach or cherry.
Make it gluten-free- You can use gluten-free flour, cup by cup, to prepare the crust so that your blueberry pie is allergen-friendly.
Use the dough bought in the store- If you prefer, you can make this pie even faster using store-bought dough. You can also make a solid top membrane instead of a lattice to save time.

How to make blueberry pie

Mix the fillers. Start by combining your blueberries with cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, white sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.

Roll out the dough. Now take out the chilled pie dough and place it on a floured surface. Then roll it with a rolling pin. You will want to roll it about 14 inches in diameter. Now place the dough into yours Pie dish.
Fill the pie. Fill the pie dough with the blueberry filling and start rolling out your second piece of dough to about 13 inches. At this point, you can place a few pieces of butter on top of the blueberry pie.

Slice the knit. Place 6 strips at equal intervals on top of the pie pan vertically away from you. Then pull back the odd numbers (1,3,5) and place one strip of dough across it. Put the weird straps back on. Now peel the even numbers (2,4,6) and place another strip of dough across it. Continue to do this with the odd and even numbers until you put all the remaining strips of dough.

Recipes tips

Toss the blueberries in corn starch- Giving the berries a starch coating, along with the sugar and other filling ingredients, will help thicken the juices while baking so that your pie will not be soupy.
Cover with egg wash- Adding an egg wash (egg mixed with water) to the top of the pie will cause the lattice crust to bake to a delicious golden brown.
Make sure the edges do not get too brown- I like to use a Pie crust protector During baking to prevent the edges of the blueberry pie from browning too much.
Let cool slightly- When the inside is very hot from baking, allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing. This will allow him to hold his structure a little longer.

Common questions

Why is my blueberry pie wet?

Almost all fruit pies can be liquid because baking fruits draws their juices. You can prevent the pie from becoming too liquid by adding flour or corn starch before baking. Remember, adding too much of these thickeners can cause the filler to have a starchy texture. Which does not feel too good on the palate.

What is the best thickener for blueberry pie?

Flour or starch, such as corn starch or tapioca starch, are best for thickening blueberry pie. They will mix with the pectin in the blueberries, creating a thicker filling for your pie. Only light dust on the berries is best.
