Provided by Jenn Hall

Categories     Desserts     Pies     Fruit Pie Recipes     Raspberry Pie Recipes

Time 3h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
⅔ cup shortening, chilled
6 tablespoons cold water
1 cup fresh strawberries, halved
2 cups fresh raspberries
1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Combine the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening until the pieces are the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture, then gently toss with a fork. Push moistened portion to the side of the bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon of water at a time, until all is moistened. Divide the dough in half. Form each half into a ball and flatten slightly. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Transfer one piece of dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough from the center to the edges to form a 12-inch circle. Wrap the crust around the rolling pin. Unroll it onto a 9-inch pie plate. Ease the crust into the pie plate, being careful not to stretch it. Trim the bottom crust evenly with the rim of the pie plate, and return the pastry-lined pie plate to the refrigerator.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar and cornstarch. Add the strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries; gently toss until berries are coated. Allow fruit mixture to stand for about 15 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
  • Roll out the remaining pastry for the top crust. Stir the berry mixture and pour the filling into the pastry-lined pie plate. Place the top crust over the pie and trim the edges, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold the top crust under the bottom crust, pressing lightly to seal. Crimp the edges of the crust and cut vents in the top to allow steam to escape. To prevent over-browning, cover the edge of the pie with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven on the baking tray for 25 minutes. Remove the foil.
  • Bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the crust is golden. Cool on a wire rack.

BERRY HAND PIES



Berry Hand Pies image

These hand-held pies are sold at breakfast time at Back in the Day Bakery in Savannah, Ga., but they are also a perfect summery dessert. Cheryl Day, an owner, said that she uses less sugar than many Southern bakers do, and likes to round out the flavor of sweet summer fruit with salt and lemon. The difference between a hand pie and a turnover is in the shape. (Hand pies are half moons, and turnovers are triangles.) You can make this recipe either way.

Categories     snack, finger foods, pastries, pies and tarts

Time 2h15m

Yield 8 hand pies

Number Of Ingredients 8

All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 recipe Extra-Flaky Pie Crust
2 large eggs, lightly beaten with a pinch of fine sea salt, for egg wash
2 cups mixed fresh berries (about 12 ounces/350 grams), such as sliced strawberries or whole blackberries or blueberries
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest plus 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the dough: On a floured surface, roll out each disk of dough into a 10-inch square, each about 1/8-inch thick. Using a 5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 4 disks from each piece of dough. Transfer disks to a baking sheet (it's OK if they overlap slightly), cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 10 minutes.
  • Prepare the berry filling: In a medium bowl, combine the berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest and juice, and sea salt. Stir gently until evenly coated, then set aside.
  • Remove the disks from the refrigerator and lightly brush the edges of each disk with the egg wash. Spoon about 1/4 cup berry filling onto each disk, leaving a 1-inch border around the rim. (You might have some extra filling.)
  • Working with one disk at a time, leaving one half of the dough on the baking sheet, gently fold the other half of each round of dough over the filling to make a half circle and press the edges together with your fingers to seal. If any of the filling is oozing out of the sides, remove a few berries at a time until the hand pie seals easily. Using a fork, crimp the rounded edge of each hand pie. Repeat with remaining disks.
  • Cover the hand pies with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to set the crusts. Refrigerate the remaining egg wash.
  • When you are ready to bake, position a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Line another baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove the hand pies from the refrigerator and brush the tops with the remaining egg wash. Using a paring knife, cut 3 small slits in the top of each hand pie to create steam vents. Transfer the hand pies to the lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the hand pies are golden and the filling is bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm.
  • The hand pies can be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

BUTTERY BERRY PIE



Buttery Berry Pie image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     weekday, dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield One 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups, plus 2 tablespoons, flour
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
8 ounces sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 whole graham crackers, smashed to make fine crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar, for sprinkling
2/3 cup sugar
4 tablespoons instant tapioca
1 pint blueberries
1 pint raspberries
1 pint strawberries
1 pint blackberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • To make the pie dough, put 2 cups of the flour in the freezer for 15 minutes. Add the butter, toss well and put back in the freezer for another 15 minutes.
  • Dump the flour and butter mixture onto a work surface and, using a rolling pin, mush them together quickly. Sweep in the stray piles of flour and bits of butter and continue rolling. This is a messy procedure as the mixture sticks to everything. Use your hands to remove pieces stuck to the work surface and gently roll them back into the flour and butter.
  • Combine the sour cream and the salt in a large bowl. Add the dough and, using a rubber spatula, mix to combine as well as possible. Use your hands to bring it together to form 2 rounds.
  • Sprinkle the work surface with the remaining flour and roll out 1 piece of dough. Fold it onto itself and roll again. Do this 3 times to each piece of dough, then pat each into a flat round and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • To make the filling, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the sugar and tapioca and toss them with the berries, lemon juice and salt.
  • Dust the work surface with the graham-cracker crumbs and roll out 1 round of dough on top of the crumbs, turning once to dust each side. Line a 9-inch pan with the dough. Pour in the berries. Roll out the other round on the remaining crumbs, cut decorative steam vents near the center and lay it loosely over the mounded fruit. Crimp the edges together firmly and flute.
  • Combine the egg and cream. Brush the crust with the mixture, sprinkle with sugar and bake for 20 minutes. Lower the temperature to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 40 more minutes, or until the fruit is bubbling.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe berries. This will ensure that your pie has the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix it just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the butter into the flour. This will help to create a flaky crust.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. Otherwise, the filling will bubble over and make a mess. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edge of the crust.
  • Brush the edges of the pie crust with milk before baking. This will help to brown the crust and give it a shiny finish.
  • Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the pie bakes evenly.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.

Conclusion:

Making a berry pie is a great way to use up fresh berries and enjoy a delicious dessert. By following these tips, you can make a berry pie that is sure to impress your family and friends. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
