Fragrant and juicy blueberry pie. The recipe was published in 1896 and remains popular to this day.
I love old books with recipes. When I lived in the States, I was able to visit a small exhibition about the culinary arts.
They were presented devices that are willing to hundreds of years ago. But most of all I was interested in a stand of old books. It sold reprints of old cookbooks.
Cost of these publications for $ 100-200. That kind of money on books, I had not. So I cheated and took a picture of my favorite recipes. Today I share one of them.

Cooking method
Dough
Flour, 300 gr
Sugar 50g (I cook without sugar)
Butter 226 g (from the freezer)
Cold water 45 g
Cold vodka 30 g (can be replaced by water or another alcohol)
A pinch of salt
All ingredients except the vodka and water, go to the processor bowl and punching to form a sand aggregate. How to cook shortbread dough with hands, I said earlier, leave a link to the instructions at the end.
Trickle pour cold water and vodka. When the dough begins komkovatsya, I shift it in plastic wrap and put away in a refrigerator for 30 minutes.
I am rolling the dough in a layer thickness of about 7 mm. I shift into a form that greased with butter. Excess dough are cut off. Remains thin unrolled and cut into strips.
Filling
Blueberries 500g
Sugar 100g
Starch 30 grams (I use corn)
Zest of 1 lemon
Juice of one lemon
A bit of butter
All ingredients except the butter, stir until smooth. I try to do accurately, to not let blueberry juice.
I shift stuffing to form the dough. Top rubs a little butter. Intertwined strips between a test and spread on top of the filling. The edges of the dough press down to connect the sides and top of the dough. Retractable in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Baking
Before baking, cover with the egg surface of the dough and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 220 ° C for 20 minutes. Then lowers the temperature to 190 ° C and bake until ready (browning). It took me about another 50 minutes.
Storage
Ready cake is removed from the oven and give to cool completely. If you want a hot pie, then I give to cool about 20 minutes. When hot, be careful feeding, filling is very hot.
I store the cake in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days. But usually we eat it with his wife sitting 2-3.
What to look for:
✔ Butter beforehand cut into cubes and freeze. If you use oil from the refrigerator, the dough get soft and it is not convenient to be rolled out.
✔ Until the dough is not being used - remove it in the cold. The warm wet gluten dough begins to develop, and it's bad for dough.
