directions

  • Make pastry: In food processor, pulse flour with butter and shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • With motor running, add lemon juice, then water, 1 T at a time, just until dough leaves sides of bowl; remove blade, then dough.
  • Gather dough into a ball and divide in half.
  • Press each half into a disk.
  • Wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or until firm enough to roll out.
  • Place sheet of foil on bottom rack, heat oven to 425 degrees.
  • You'll need a 9-inch pie plate coated with nonstick spray.
  • Roll out 1 disk on lightly floured surface or between 2 sheets of waxed paper to 12 inch circle.
  • Fit dough into pie plate, pressing gently onto bottom and up sides.
  • Roll out remaining disk as above into an 11-inch circle; cut into 1-inch wide strips.
  • Filling: Toss blueberries with lemon juice and vanilla in large bowl.
  • Mix sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in small bowl until blended; toss with berries until coated.
  • Spoon into lined pie plate; dot with butter.
  • Arrange 5 dough strips across pie.
  • Arrange remaining 5 strips at right angles, weaving if desired.
  • Gently press ends into bottom edge, fold under and crimp.
  • Brush strips with water, sprinkle with sugar.
  • Place pie on center oven rack, bake 25 minutes.
  • Reduce oven temperature, to 350 degrees, rotate pie 180 degrees and bake 40-50 minutes more (shield pie with foil if crust gets too brown) until crust is golden and filling bubbles.
  • Cool on wire rack.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream.
