Use a pastry blender or 2 knives to cut in shortening.

Divide dough in half.

Roll half of the dough out on floured board to size needed for 9 inch pie pan.

Line pie pan with rolled out dough, try not to stretch the dough when transferring.

Filling

Place blueberries in large bowl and stir in sugar, flour, salt, and lemon juice.

Pour filling into bottom crust.

Top Crust

Roll out the other half of the dough on floured board to size needed for top crust.

Dampen edges of lower crust with cold water and cover filling with top crust.

Slash top crust in several places to allow steam to escape during baking.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Berry Perfection 🫐
Toss fresh blueberries with a touch of cornstarch before adding to the pie to prevent excess liquid and ensure a perfectly thickened filling.
Crust Chilling Technique ❄️
Refrigerate your pie dough for at least 1 hour before rolling to ensure a flaky, tender crust that doesn't shrink during baking.
Lemon Zest Magic 🍋
Add fresh lemon zest to your blueberry filling to brighten the flavors and cut through the sweetness of the berries.
Lattice Crust Pro Tip 🥧
Freeze your lattice strips for 10 minutes before weaving to make them more manageable and prevent stretching.
Egg Wash Brilliance ✨
Brush the top crust with an egg wash (1 beaten egg + 1 tablespoon water) and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a golden, professional-looking finish.
