Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups Ice water
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 6 cups Blueberries
• 0.25 cups Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

In another bowl, mix the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt. Stir well to coat the blueberries evenly.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one dough disc to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled dough gently into the dish, leaving an overhang around the edges.

Step 6

Pour the blueberry filling into the dough-lined dish and spread it evenly.

Step 7

Roll out the second dough disc. Cut into strips if making a lattice top, or leave whole for a fully covered pie. Place the dough on top of the blueberry filling.

Step 8

If using a whole crust top, cut small slits to allow steam to escape. Crimp the edges of the crust to seal and trim any excess dough.

Step 9

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 10

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving to let the filling set.
