When I first saw this thread when it was started I knew exactly what I wanted to contribute with.
Sadly it's not until now I've done something about it and it's Ball's yummy post together with my for once
sweet-craving stomach that made me do it! :D
Blueberry Pie à la spy!
Considering how tasty pies are they are ridiculously easy to make, so easy in fact that I have my doubts if this
guide is really needed. Still it's tastiness demands it being spread and enjoyed the world over so I'm going ahead with it.
Once again I managed to import the pictures with their date stamps so bear with it. And if you wonder why the pictures
are all yellowish it's because I made this pie in the vague glow of fluorescent lamps around half past 10 pm :s
The list of ingredients is short:
- 4.5 dl flower
- 1.5 dl sugar
- 150 gram margarine
- ca 250 gram of blueberry
This will be just the right amount to fill up a typical pie form about 26 cm in diameters and 4 cm high, that's about 10.2 inches in diameter and 1.5 inches high for you fancy English folks :P
First preheat the oven to 200°C.
Second, chop up the margarine into manageable pieces.
Now add the sugar and the flour. Keep in mind not to compress the flour when measuring it or there might be too much and make the pie more solid than intended :o
Now you need to work those pieces of margarine into the sugar and flour until you got some sort of crumbles.
The trick is not to mash it all together into a compressed clump of dough, and instead keep it as crumbly as possible by
breaking up any clumps that you happen to make.
The time has finally come to bring out the old trusty pie form!
Take about two thirds of your pile of crumbles and put it in the form. This will be the bottom of the pie.
Spread it evenly across the bottom and also a bit up the edges to avoid the filling from reaching the form itself.
Now for the filling :O
Nothing fancy, just pour them on :D
To top it off just pour on the last forgotten third of crumbly dough and it's ready for the oven.
Put it low in the oven, just not on the actual oven floor :s
Let it bake for about 30 minutes. When the edge of the pie is that nice and crispy golden brown colour the pie is done! :]
That's the pie... but the pie is just the half of it!
According to me a pie is not a real pie without copious amounts of vanilla custard! One third pie, two thirds custard :)
If you prefer something else to go with the pie may it be so, but either way it's a good time to prepare it while the pie is in the oven.
I've cheated with this part all the time since there's some powder that you add to milk and some sugar and then boil
that makes for a heavenly custard and thus I've never made any home made custard.
I'm not going to describe the procedure since you usually find it on the back of the package should you decide to cheat yourself,
or if you are going to make your own custard, or even no custard at all but something else entirely? :o
Some crazy people claim that whipped cream or even ice cream is very tasty with pie, but I know better and see right through their dirty lies! Vanilla custard is the truth! :O
Behold the truth!
When the pie is done it should look something like this:
, note the golden brown edge, looks tasty eh? :]
Now you may enjoy the fruits of your labour. Tear yourself a large piece of pie and drown it in custard, don't be shy :)
Nom nom nom!
