Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 6 tablespoons Cold water
• 6 cups Fresh blueberries
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 unit Egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add them to the flour. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until a dough forms. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In another large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Toss gently until the blueberries are evenly coated.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the chilled dough discs into a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides.

Step 5

Pour the blueberry filling into the crust-lined pie dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Roll out the second dough disc to the same size. Place it over the blueberries, or cut it into strips and create a lattice pattern. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges to seal.

Step 7

Whisk together the egg yolk and milk to make an egg wash. Brush it over the top crust to give it a golden, shiny finish during baking.

Step 8

Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape. If using a lattice crust, this step isn't necessary.

Step 9

Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.

Step 10

Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the filling to set. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
