Ingredients
  

Crust:

  • 2 ½ cups of All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ teaspoon of Salt
  • 3 tablespoons of Sugar
  • 1 cup 2 sticks of Unsalted Butter
  • ¼ cup of Lard or Shortening
  • 1/3 cup of Ice Cold Water

Pie Filling:

  • 3 cups of Blueberries Frozen or Fresh (Defrosted if frozen)
  • ½ cup of Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of Cornstarch
  • Pinch of Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon of Cinnamon
  • Zest and Juice of ½ Lemon

Instructions
 

  • In a food processor, combine flour, salt, sugar, lard, and butter. Pulse a few times, no more than 10 seconds, until you achieve coarse crumbs. With the processor on low, gradually pour in ice-cold water until the dough just starts to come together. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Bring it together and divide it into two disks. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Take the dough out of the refrigerator. In a large bowl, mix together the blueberry filling ingredients.
  • Roll out one of the dough disks on a floured surface. Give it a single roll, then turn it 90 degrees and roll again until it’s the size of your 9-inch pie pan. Place the rolled-out dough into the pan, gently pressing it in. Poke fork holes randomly on the bottom crust. Add the prepared filling, then place the second rolled-out dough on top. If not using a lattice design, make a vent hole in the center. A simple x will do.
  • Bake the pie for 45-60 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. To prevent the edges from burning, cover them with a crust protector or aluminum foil.
  • Allow the pie to rest for 2 hours before cutting into it. This helps the filling set properly.

Notes

This filling is made to be on the mild-sweet side so it can be served with sweet ice cream or whipped cream. If you would like a sweeter filling, add 1/4 cup more of sugar.
