Directions Saskatoon Berry (Serviceberry) Pie
Directions
-
Whisk 2 cups flour and salt together in a large bowl, cut in lard with a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles peas. Add 1/4 cup cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until mixture is moistened just enough to form a ball when squeezed. Divide dough into two pieces, form each into a ball, and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
Place berries and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer berries until tender, about 10 minutes.
Whisk sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Stir sugar mixture into berries, return to a boil, and cook, stirring constantly, until filling is clear, about 2 minutes, stir in lemon juice. Cool filling to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Roll one ball of pastry out on a lightly floured surface to fit an 8-inch pie plate, line pie plate with crust. Pour berry mixture into pie crust, dot with butter. Roll remaining pastry out for top crust, place over filled pie, and crimp edges tightly together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, about 35 minutes.
