Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pie dough, 13-inch
- 1 pint blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk (240 ml)
- 1 ½ cups (300 g) granulated sugar
- 8 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (30 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Confectioners sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare Pie Dish: Lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray and preheat oven to 325°F (165°C), then carefully drape pie dough into the dish, crimping edges with decorative folds.
- Create Custard Base: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together dry ingredients, then stream melted butter while stirring continuously to develop a uniform consistency.
- Blend Wet Ingredients: Incorporate eggs one at a time, thoroughly blending to achieve a silky texture, then pour in buttermilk and vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture becomes a luxurious, glossy custard.
- Assemble Pie: Pour the creamy custard into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly to the edges, and gently distribute fresh blueberries across the surface, allowing them to nestle into the custard.
- Bake and Cool: Slide the pie into the preheated oven, baking for approximately one hour until the top turns golden-brown and the center sets with a subtle wobble, then remove and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- Finish and Serve: Just before serving, dust the surface with a delicate veil of confectioners sugar to create a stunning visual and sweet finish.
Notes
- Spray Technique: Use a light, even coating of cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy pie removal without excess grease.
- Dough Handling: Handle pie dough gently to maintain its delicate structure, crimping edges with soft, consistent pressure for an elegant presentation.
- Ingredient Blending: Whisk dry ingredients thoroughly to eliminate lumps, then add wet ingredients gradually to create a smooth, uniform custard base.
- Baking Precision: Watch for the golden-brown top and slight center wobble as key indicators of perfect doneness, avoiding over or underbaking.
