Finnish Blueberry Pie

1. Prepare the Dough:

• In a mixing bowl, combine 110 grams of softened butter and 250 grams of sugar. Use a blender or a hand mixer to blend them together until the mixture is creamy and fluffy.
• Add 2 eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
• In a separate bowl, sift together 220 grams of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
• Shape the dough into a disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to chill.

2. Prepare the Filling:

• Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
• In a mixing bowl, combine 220 grams of thick sour cream, 1 egg, and 50 grams of sugar. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
• Gently fold in 300 grams of blueberries (you can use fresh or frozen blueberries). The vibrant blueberries will add a burst of color and flavor to your pie.

3. Assemble the Pie:

• Take your chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface to fit your baking dish. You can use a pie dish or a rectangular baking dish, depending on your preference.
• Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the baking dish to form the crust. You can use your fingers to create a rustic, uneven edge.
• Pour the blueberry-sour cream mixture evenly over the crust. The creamy filling will seep into the nooks and crannies of the dough, creating a delicious contrast in texture.

4. Bake to Perfection:

• Place the assembled pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling has set.
• Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. The aroma of freshly baked blueberry pie will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist.

5. Enjoy Your Finnish Blueberry Pie:

• Serve your Finnish Blueberry Pie warm or at room temperature. A dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream can be delightful additions.
• Share this delightful dessert with loved ones and savor the taste of Finland’s beautiful blueberry-filled landscapes.
