BLACKBERRY PIE
While this pie is a favorite in Washington state, it is also a classic across the country. The cut-out crusts update the look of the old standard, but the taste is just as sweet, tart and velvety as you remember.

Steps:
- Toss together the berries, granulated sugar, vanilla and lemon zest and juice in a large bowl. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, unroll one pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie plate. Roll out the other crust on a floured cutting board. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut the entire crust into rounds, rerolling until all the dough is used (about 28 rounds).
- Sprinkle the cornstarch over the berry mixture and toss to combine. Pour the berry mixture into the crust and spread into an even layer. Dot the top with the butter pieces. Brush the border of the dough lightly with the egg wash. Place the rounds around the border of the pie plate, overlapping them slightly and using the egg wash as an adhesive when necessary. There will be empty space in the center. Crimp the edge of the pie. Brush the entire crust with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar.
- Put the pie plate on a baking sheet and bake until the center is set and the crust is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Put on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve at room temperature.

FOUR AND TWENTY BLACK BIRDS BAKED IN A PIE
I use Recipe #300887 to make this pie when the king comes for dinner. It's always a hit with his nibs so I hope you will try it too. If you can' find four and twenty blackbirds at your supermarket just use a nice 3 1/2 to four pound broiler/fryer or all thighs or all white meat or any other poultry.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe blackberries. If you can't find fresh blackberries, you can use frozen or canned blackberries, but the flavor won't be as good.
- To make sure the crust is flaky, use cold butter and water. You can also use a food processor to make the crust, but be careful not to overmix it.
- Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash before baking. This will help to seal the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If you're not sure if the pie is done, insert a toothpick into the center of the filling. If the toothpick comes out clean, the pie is done.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the crust to firm up.
