sugar | 1 Tbsp | |
salt | 1/4 tsp | |
vegetable shortening | 1/3 cup | frozen - cut into 1/4 inch cubes |
unsalted butter | 3 Tbsps | frozen - cut into 1/4 inch cubes |
water | 1/4 cup | ice cold |
egg yolk | 1 | |
cider vinegar | 1/2 tsp | |
Pie Filling | ||
blackberry | 4 cups | |
sugar | 1 cup | |

all-purpose flour | 3/4 cup | |
unsalted butter | 1 Tbsp | |

Directions
- In a large mixing bowl combine the all purpose flour, salt, and sugar. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients.
- With the mixer on begin to add the frozen cubed vegetable shortening and butter. It should resemble little pellets of flour.
- Whisk together the ice cold water, egg yolk, and cider vinegar. Using a fork begin to mix the dry ingredients. Drizzle in small amounts of the liquid mixture and continue to mix. You will end up with a loose dough. Gather up the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Place a baking sheet on the center rack.
- In a bowl combine the blackberries, sugar, salt, and flour. Mix well.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it. One larger than the other. Roll both out on a flour dusted surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Place the larger amount of the dough in the base of a 9 inch pie pan. Allow the crust to hang over the edge by 1 inch. Cut off the rest.
- Dot the pie crust with the unsalted butter and pour in blackberry mixture and cover with the smaller amount of rolled out dough.
- Flute the edges of the dough together and using a sharp knife make small slits in the center of the pie. Brush the heavy cream onto the pie and sprinkle on the sugar.
- Place the pie in the oven on the baking sheet and bake for 40 to 50 until golden brown.
