Ingredients

Shortcrust:

• 300 g of flour *
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar *
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 195 g cold vegan butter , diced
• 3 tbsp cold water

Blueberry Filling:

• 800 g blueberries (blueberries) *
• 90 g of sugar *
• 30 g cornstarch / cornstarch (or vanilla pudding powder)
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest finely grated
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice

For painting:

• some herbal milk / cream
• 1-2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

Shortcrust:

• Mix flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add the diced vegan butter and work into the flour with your hands. Gradually add the cold water and knead only until a dough is formed. (Optionally, you can also put all the ingredients in a food processor and prepare the dough in it.)
• Then halve the dough and shape each into a flat ball. Then wrap in cling film and put in the fridge for at least 1/2 hour.

Filling:

• Preheat the oven to 180 ° C
• Put the blueberries in a bowl and mix with the sugar, cornflour, lemon zest and lemon juice. Then set aside.
• Roll out one half of the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Put into a greased 20/22 cm pie * and gently press the dough. Pierce the soil several times with a fork and then fill with the blueberry mixture.
• Now roll out the other half of the dough, cut into strips and place on top of the filling to create a grid pattern (or optionally cover with the rolled out dough as a whole *). Then cut off the overhanging dough and press the edges slightly.
• Optional: From the remaining dough you can now cut out cookies as a decoration for the cake. Form the rest of the dough into a ball, roll out again and cut out the desired motifs with a cookie cutter. Then put on the cake and press something.
• Brush the surface of the cake with some vegetable milk / cream and sprinkle with a little brown sugar.
• Bake the cake for about 50-60 minutes until golden brown. While covering only the sides or the entire surface with aluminum foil, the cake should become too dark when baking.
• Then let the Blueberry Pie cool down.
• Serve with a scoop of vegan ice cream and extra syrup if you like!
• Good Appetite!
