BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F
• Take half of the pie dough -- enough for one crust -- and roll it so that it is slightly larger than your pie plate (I use a 9" pie plate).
• Place in an ungreased pie plate and press into the corners and up the sides. Trim any very long edges (not all the way!) and fold remaining overhang under itself to form a thick edge (this helps to prevent burning).
• In a large bowl, stir together blueberries, sugar and corn starch and pour into bottom crust.
• Roll out second half of pie dough (one crust) and place over top of the blueberries, trim and crimp the edges as desired, or you can make a lattice crust as shown above if desired. If you use a full top crust, be sure to poke holes in the top to allow the steam to escape.
• Whisk together egg and water and brush over the top crust (this is optional -- it just helps the crust to brown nicely).
• Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes until light golden brown. Cover with foil, reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking until filling is thick and bubbly, about 30-50 minutes (frozen berries will take longer).
• Let rest at room temperature or chill for 2-3 hours before serving for cleaner slices that are still slightly saucy. Let chill overnight in the refrigerator for perfectly clean slices.

Steps:

• For the butter crust: place the flour, sugar, and salt into a food processor, along with the ice cold butter. Pulse for a few minutes until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Slowly add in the cold water and continue mixing until dough comes together to form a ball, about 30 seconds. Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface and knead the dough into a smooth ball; don't overwork the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and place into refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350F. Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, toss together the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon and lemon juice. Stir until berries are coated.
• Roll out the chilled dough into large rectangle; the dough needs to be on the thin side. Use a 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter or glass/cup to cut out small circles. Drop dough circles into mini-cupcake tins; I used a 24-count pan. Using your fingers or the bottom of a shot glass, press the dough into the bottom and sides of tin. Top with a generous and overflowing amount of blueberries.
• Bake the mini tarts at 350F for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the tarts turn a golden brown color. Remove the tarts from the pan, using a spoon, onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
• Once cooled, drizzle the top with melted white chocolate. I used the microwave to melt mine and placed the chocolate into a zip-lock bag, then cut off a tiny tip off the edge.
