OLD FASHIONED BLACKBERRY PIE RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• To Prepare the Pie Crust: Place the 1 cup of flour (140 grams) and the salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix to combine. With the mixer running on low speed, add the butter a small handful at a time. When all the butter has been added, increase the speed to medium-low and mix for about 1 minute, until the butter is thoroughly blended. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Turn the speed to medium-low, and add the remaining 1 cup + 3 tablespoons of flour (165 grams), and mix just to combine. Add the water and mix until incorporated. The dough will come up around the paddle and should feel smooth, not sticky, to the touch. Remove the dough from the mixer and check to be certain that there are no visible pieces of butter remaining. Pat the dough into two equal sized disks and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, but preferably overnight. (It can also be frozen for up to 1 month.) Rolling out the dough: Unwrap the dough and place it between two pieces of parchment or plastic wrap. (I very lightly flour the one side of the parchment paper to prevent sticking.) With a rolling pin, pound the top of the dough, working from one side of the dough to the other, to begin to flatten the dough; turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat. Roll out the dough, in the parchment, from the center outward, rotating and flipping the dough over frequently, to the dimensions needed for the desired pan. Remove the top piece of parchment and invert the dough into the pan, pressing it gently against the sides and into the bottom edges. Remove the remaining parchment. Freeze the dough for 30 minutes or refrigerate for an hour. To Assemble the Pie: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add the softened butter and combine using a fork. Add the sugar/butter mixture to the 4 cups of blackberries and toss gently until combined. Spoon the mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Place top crust onto filled pie. Fold edges over and crimp and flute edges. Cut slits in top crust or prick with fork to allow steam to escape. Bake for 1 hour (I have to bake it for 1 hour 10 minutes) or until filling in center is bubbly and crust is golden brown. Cool to room temperature for serving. *Red raspberries may be substituted for blackberries. **Put a sheet of foil on bottom of the oven to catch spillage from the pie.

OLD-FASHIONED BLUEBERRY CUSTARD PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 410 degrees F (210 degrees C). Line a pie plate with 1 pie crust.
• Beat eggs slightly in a large bowl. Mix in sugar, flour, cornstarch, milk, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Add blueberries; stir to combine. Pour blueberry mixture over the bottom crust.
• Roll the top crust into a 10-inch circle. Cut into 1/2-inch strips with a sharp paring knife or pastry wheel. Moisten the rim of the pie with a small amount of water. Start with the longest strips and lay the first 2 in an X in the center of the pie. Alternate horizontal and vertical strips, weaving them in an over-and-under pattern. Use the shortest strips for the edges of the lattice. Fold the ends of the lattice strips under the edge of the bottom crust and flute the crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until center is set, about 50 minutes.

BLACKBERRY PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the lard and butter pieces using a pastry cutter, until you have small pea size pieces. Incorporate a little water at a time, until your pie crust comes together. Do not overwork the dough or the pie crust will be tough.
• Place the pie crust into a large zip-style bag and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
• In a large bowl combine blackberries, sugar, instant tapioca, lemon juice, and ground nutmeg. Set aside. (adjust the sugar based on how sweet or tart the berries are)
• On a lightly floured surface roll out the bottom pie crust. Place into a 9-inch glass pie plate or 10-inch cast iron skillet. Spoon the berry mixture into the pie shell.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out the bottom pie crust and place on top of the berries. Slice air a few vents in the top of the crust. Or roll out the top crust and slice long pieces with a small pastry cutter or pizza cutter. Place pieces one way, then weave crust pieces the opposite direction. Continue until the pie is covered with pie crust. Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
• Place the pie on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper. This will help contain the mess.
• Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for about 1 hour. Once it is browned nicely, cover with a piece of aluminum foil with an air vent cut out of the top. This will keep the pie from becoming too brown while continuing to cook and still let air vent. Bake until the pie filling is bubbling. About 1 hour 10 minutes total.
• Remove the pie from the oven. Let cool completely before slicing.
