Ingredients
Method
Techniques
  • butter
  • flour
  • almond meal
  • sugar
  • salt
  • baking powder
  • lemon zest
  • egg
Mix cubed chilled butter with flour, almond meal, sugar, salt and a pinch of baking powder to a coarse meal; add lemon zest and the egg.
The blueberry pie
Flatten the pastry straight from the mixer into a neat disk 3 to 4 millimetres thick, lay it on a frozen tray and freeze about 20 minutes.
Lining the tart pan with no extra flour
Remove the baking mat and, as it begins to thaw, smooth it with a rolling pin; mold it into a greased tart pan, pressing it flush around the edges, and make a lip for more depth.
Run the rolling pin around the rim to cut away the excess; refrigerate the shell (or freeze for later).
  • butter
  • sugar
  • almond meal
  • starch
  • egg
For the almond cream mix butter, sugar, almond meal and starch, then the egg; spread it in the tart shell and refrigerate.
Almond cream
  • wild frozen blueberries
  • sugar
  • lemon juice
  • 2 whole dried and used vanilla pods
Melt wild frozen blueberries slowly with sugar, lemon juice and a couple of used vanilla pods; cover, let sit, then sieve, saving the juice for the glaze and the solids for the pie.
  • 1 tbsp glucose
  • pectin
  • sugar
Heat the blueberry juice with a tablespoon of glucose, add pectin mixed with a little sugar, bring to a boil and cook 5 minutes.
Off the heat add the gelatin and cool over ice water.
  • gelatin
  • fresh and frozen blueberries
  • vanilla sugar
Pack the shell with fresh and frozen blueberries and the saved solids, dust with vanilla sugar, and bake on a pizza stone about an hour, until the inside reads 194 Fahrenheit, 90 Celsius.
Let stand 30 minutes and unmold.
  • fresh blueberries
  • lemon zest
  • timut pepper
Loosen the set blueberry glaze, stir in fresh blueberries, lemon zest and timut pepper, and cover the pie with it; add more fresh blueberries, and edible flowers if wanted.
