🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling

1 cup mixed berries
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp lemon juice

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 400°F.
2This will ensure the pie starts baking at the right temperature.
3Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to catch any drips during baking.
4In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder.
5Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are thoroughly combined.
6Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients and use your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
7In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
8Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
9The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
10If it is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
11If it is too dry, add a bit more milk.
12Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
13Roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
14Press the dough into the pie dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
15Trim any excess dough from the edges.
16In a separate bowl, mix berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice.
17This will create a sweet and tangy filling.
18Spoon the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
19Cover the filling with the remaining dough, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers.
20Cut slits in the top of the pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
21This will prevent the pie from puffing up and ensure even cooking.
22Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
23The pie is done when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling through the slits.
24Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
25This will allow the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
