Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 5 cups blueberries
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 egg, for egg wash

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, salt, and cold butter. Pulse until the butter resembles pea-sized crumbs.
  2. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and stir in buttermilk until a dough forms.
  3. Divide dough into two equal portions, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. In a large bowl, combine blueberries, cinnamon, salt, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cornstarch. Stir together, then add vanilla extract and lemon juice.
  5. Roll one dough disk into a 13 to 14-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish.
  6. Fill the crust with the blueberry mixture and dot with cubed butter.
  7. Roll out the second dough disk and cut into 12 strips.
  8. Create a lattice crust by weaving the strips across the pie.
  9. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
  10. Brush the lattice crust with egg wash.
  11. Bake at 370°F (188°C) for approximately 50 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly.
  12. Allow the pie to cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Chill the dough thoroughly to ensure a flaky crust.
  • Frozen blueberries can be substituted; add a little extra cornstarch if needed.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before cutting for cleaner slices.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra-special dessert.
