Ingredients
Method
- To make the crust, combine the flour, 2 teaspoons of sugar and salt in a large bowl. Use your fingers to rub in the butter and shortening until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Gradually mix in just enough ice water to form a ball. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- To make the filling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, flour, and orange zest. Toss the blueberries with the sugar mixture.
- Divide the dough in half, roll out and fit one half into a 9-inch pie plate. Pour in the filling. Roll out the other half, cut strips, and weave into a lattice top. Seal and crimp the edges, brush with egg wash, and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 325 degrees and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until browned. Cool on a rack before serving.
Notes
Take your time weaving the lattice top, and don’t worry about perfection; it’ll taste amazing!
