Time 2h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup shortening
4 to 6 tablespoons cold water
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, if desired
6 cups fresh blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter, if desired

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour and the salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
  • Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
  • Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll one round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
  • In large bowl, mix sugar, 1/2 cup flour and the cinnamon. Stir in blueberries. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over blueberry mixture. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over blueberries. Cover with top pastry that has slits cut in it; seal and flute. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning.
  • Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Filling
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, if desired
6 cups blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter or margarine, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll one round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. In large bowl, mix sugar, 1/2 cup flour and the cinnamon. Stir in blueberries. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Sprinkle any remaining sugar mixture over blueberry mixture. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Cut butter into small pieces; sprinkle over blueberries. Cover with top pastry that has slits cut in it; seal and flute. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until crust is golden brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right blueberries. Fresh, plump blueberries are the best choice for this pie. Avoid berries that are bruised or moldy.
  • Use a deep-dish pie plate. This will help to prevent the juices from spilling over as the pie bakes.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with and will help to prevent the pie from shrinking in the oven.
  • Brush the edges of the pie crust with egg wash before baking. This will help to seal the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Betty Crocker's Classic Blueberry Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust and sweet, juicy filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a classic dessert, give this recipe a try.
