Preparation
-
1.In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
2.Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
-
3.Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
-
4.In a separate bowl, gently toss the huckleberries with the sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until well coated.
-
5.Roll out one disc of dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the pie dish and trim any excess.
-
6.Pour the huckleberry filling into the pie crust and dot with small pieces of butter.
-
7.Roll out the second disc of dough and place it over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges to seal the pie.
-
8.Cut a few slits on the top crust to allow steam to escape during baking.
-
9.Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
-
10.Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Huckleberries — Ensure that the huckleberries are fresh and ripe for the best flavor. If fresh huckleberries are not available, you can use frozen huckleberries, but thaw and drain them before using.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra touch of flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the huckleberry filling.
- Serve the pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.
- If the crust starts to brown too quickly during baking, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- If huckleberries are not available, you can substitute them with blueberries for a similar taste experience.
- To achieve a flaky crust, make sure the butter is cold and handle the dough as little as possible.
Serving advice
Serve the Huckleberry Bliss Pie at room temperature or slightly warmed. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Presentation advice
To enhance the visual appeal, dust the top crust of the pie with powdered sugar before serving. You can also garnish each slice with a few fresh huckleberries for an extra pop of color.
