Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

   Ongeveer 10 min

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt for the crust.

   Ongeveer 2 min

3. 3

   Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and cut it in using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Work quickly to keep the butter cold, which helps create a flaky crust.

4. 4

   In a small separate bowl, whisk the egg and milk together.

   Ongeveer 1 min

5. 5

   Pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture and mix until just combined, forming a soft dough.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Do not overmix, as this can make the crust tough.

6. 6

   Press about two-thirds of the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish.

   Ongeveer 3 min

7. 7

   For the filling, gently combine the fresh blueberries, granulated sugar, potato starch, and optional lemon zest in a medium bowl.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Potato starch creates a clear, glossy filling, but cornstarch can be used as a substitute.

8. 8

   Pour the blueberry filling into the prepared pie crust.

   Ongeveer 1 min

9. 9

   Crumble the remaining one-third of the dough over the blueberry filling.

   Ongeveer 2 min

10. 10

    Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

    Ongeveer 40 min

    Tip van de kok: If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely cover the edges with aluminum foil.

11. 11

    Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

    Tip van de kok: Cooling allows the filling to set properly.
