Equipment

  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Pastry Cutter
  • Basting Brush
  • Parchment Paper
  • Baking Sheet
  • Spatula

Ingredients

CRUST:

  • 187.5 grams all-purpose flour about 1 ½ cups
  • 18.75 grams granulated sugar about 1 ½ tbsp
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ stick butter, unsalted cold and cubed
  • 6-7 tablespoon water

FILLING:

  • 3 cups blueberries
  • 75 grams granulated sugar about ¾ cup
  • 3 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoon heavy cream
  • Coarse sugar if desired for sprinkling

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Add in cold butter cubes and cut them in with a pastry cutter until there are not overly large pieces.
  • Add water and mixing with a spatula, then knead gently to form a ball ensuring any pieces that did not stick initially to the ball, do.
  • Flatten into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour (I like to do 2 hours).
  • In a medium bowl, mix all blueberry filling ingredients and let sit 10 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375F and prep a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Roll out chilled dough into a 12" circle and transfer to the baking sheet.
  • Use a slotted spoon to pile berries into the center of the dough, leaving a 1½–2” border. Fold the edges of the dough over the berries, pleating as needed.
  • Brush crust with egg wash. If desired sprinkle the crust with coarse sugar and add lemon zest to the filling.
  • Bake for 45 minutes, until deeply golden brown and bubbling.
  • Cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure you use cold butter; it creates pockets of steam that result in a flaky crust.
  • Using a slotted spoon helps keep excess liquid out, preventing a soggy crust.
  • Chilling the dough helps develop structure and flavor.
  • For an even golden-brown finish, be generous but not drippy.
  • It’s best slightly cooled with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
