Homemade Blueberry Pie: A Classic Recipe for 6

Ingredients for 6 people
  • 200 g flour
  • 100 g butter, softened
  • 125 g caster sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fine breadcrumbs
  • 600 g blueberries
  • 10 cl crème fraîche
  • Icing sugar, for dusting
  • 1 pinch salt


Preparation
  • Preparation time: 15 minutes
  • Chilling time: 30 minutes
  • Cooking time: 35 minutes


Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the softened butter in small pieces and mix with a spatula until incorporated. Form a well in the center, add 25 g caster sugar, 1 egg yolk, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons water. Mix and knead for 2-3 minutes. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film, and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough to 4-5 mm thick and line a buttered porcelain pie dish. Prick the base with a fork and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons fine breadcrumbs.

Sort the blueberries quickly, avoiding washing to preserve their flavor. Arrange in a thick layer over the base. Bake at 190°C for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk 100 g caster sugar, 2 eggs, and the crème fraîche.

Remove from the oven and pour the cream mixture evenly over the blueberries. Return to the oven and bake at 180°C for 15 more minutes. Dust with icing sugar when done and cool for 15 minutes before serving.
