Time 2h35m

Yield Makes six 5-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 disks Pate Brisee for Summer Berry Pies
All-purpose flour, for surface
7 1/2 cups mixed raspberries and sliced strawberries, or blueberries and blackberries
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
Salt
2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Roll out 1 disk pate brisee to about 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Cut out six 6-inch circles. Press dough into bottoms and up sides of six 5-inch (1 1/4 inches deep) pie plates. Trim excess dough flush with edges of pie plates using a knife, or crimp edges.
  • Stir together berries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Fill pie shells with berry filling.
  • Whisk together yolks and cream. Roll out remaining disk of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface; cut out stars and stripes using cookie cutters, a knife, or a pastry wheel. Decorate tops of pies with cutouts, brushing bottoms with egg wash to help them adhere. Freeze for 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush tops of pies with egg wash, and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake until juices are bubbling and tops are golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. (Tent with foil if crusts are getting too dark.) Let cool.

Tips for Perfect Summer Berry Pies:

- **Use fresh, ripe berries:** The quality of your berries will make a big difference in the final product. Look for berries that are plump, brightly colored, and free of bruises. - **Mix berries:** Don't be afraid to mix different types of berries in your pie. This will create a more complex and flavorful filling. - **Sweeten the berries:** Berries can be tart, so you'll need to add some sugar to the filling. The amount of sugar you add will depend on the sweetness of the berries and your personal preference. - **Thicken the filling:** The filling for your berry pie should be thick enough to hold its shape, but not so thick that it's gluey. You can thicken the filling by adding cornstarch, flour, or tapioca. - **Use a good crust:** The crust is an important part of any pie. Be sure to use a crust that is flaky and golden brown. You can use a store-bought crust or make your own. - **Bake the pie properly:** The baking time for your berry pie will depend on the type of crust you use and the size of your pie. Be sure to check the pie regularly to make sure it's not overbaking.

Conclusion:

Summer berry pies are a delicious and festive way to celebrate the Fourth of July. With a little planning and effort, you can make a pie that will be the star of the show. So get creative and have fun!
