Tips

Tips

  • To make a flaky pie crust, use very cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Avoid overworking the dough, as this will make it tough.
  • When rolling out the dough, use a light touch and avoid pulling or stretching it. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Before baking the pie crust, chill it for at least 30 minutes. This will help to prevent the crust from shrinking and blistering.
  • When making the filling, use fresh, ripe blackberries. Avoid using frozen or canned blackberries, as they will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • To thicken the filling, use a cornstarch slurry. A cornstarch slurry is a mixture of cornstarch and water that is added to the filling before it is cooked. This will help to thicken the filling and prevent it from being too runny.
  • When baking the pie, place it on a baking sheet to catch any drips. This will help to keep your oven clean.
  • Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and the crust to become flaky.
