Directions: |
Directions:Take racks out of oven except for bottom rack. Pre-heat oven to 425º. Wash berries in a colander. Let drain and then put them on paper towels to dry. Mix sugar, cornstarch, flour,cinnamon and salt in a small bowl and set aside.Place drained berries in a large bowl. Add the juice and zest and mix with a rubber spatula gently. Add the dry ingredients and mix well, but gently not to break the berries. Roll out the pastry until it is at least 1" larger than the pie plate. Press in down a bit on the sides and bottom. Sprinkle the bottom with the breadcrumbs or corn flake crumbs. Add the filling the bottom shell. Put a cookie sheet in the oven to heat. Roll the top crust out to cover the pie plus extra to be able to flute the crust. Make an egg wash with the egg and the cream or milk. Brush the outside of the bottom crust with the wash. Dot the filling with the butter cut in small pieces. Put the top crust over the pie and press down to seal it to the bottom crust. Use two fingers to flute the edge of the pie and then trim the remainder of the crust so that it is even with the pie plate. Cut at least 4 slits in the top to vent the crust. Brush the top crust with the egg wash. Place on the heated tray and bake at 425º for 10 minuets. Turn the oven down to 350º and continue to bake until the juice bubbles up and you can see it through the vent.( approximately 45 to 50 mins.) Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool. This will take several hours. The filling will firm up as it cools. Placing on the rack keeps the bottom crust from becoming soggy. Serve with ice cream. |
