Blueberry Pie is Matt's favorite, and it is probably one of the easiest to make. The best blueberry pies are made a day ahead so they can set.

Pumpkin pie is my Dad's favorite pie. Growing up my Mom would make one for Dad and one for everyone else. I still make the base recipe that my Mom uses quite often but sometimes I need to amp up the pie a bit, check out the substitution listed below.

Pie Crust

Posted in /Cooking/Desserts/Pie on Sunday, September 10, 2017


Crust Ingredients

2 Tbsp Sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup lard (in most stores you can buy Tenderflake lard right next to the shortening). I know it sounds horrible to use lard, but it really makes the best crusts!
6-7 Tbsp Ice cold vodka

Crust Directions

1. Place dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and cut lard into the dry ingredients
2. Next mix one tablespoon of ice cold water into the dry ingredients at a time until the mixture is unified.
3. Chill dough for 15 minutes in refrigerator
4. Roll dough out in a floured surface and place in a pie dish

Blueberry Buckle

Most people associate memories with flavours. This is the recipe that I associate with Nana and evenings after the sunset at the shore. The cookbook she uses for the recipe opens directly to the page of the recipe, proving how often it is used. This is not a fancy or secret recipe it's actually out of a very old copy of the Gold Medal Flour cookbook. I'm sure many families have used similar recipes, but it is one of my favourite flavour memories.
