The Pioneer Woman Cooks


If you've never checked out www.thepioneerwoman.com I highly recommend it. She's genius. In everything she does. I got Sweetheart one of her cookbooks for Christmas and I think she has actually used it. How many cookbooks do you have that don't have a cracked spine? Soon I'll show you my cooking book. It took me too long to make it, seeing as it took 45 minutes to put together. ANYWAY...
This blueberry pie is from the website. It's called Mom's Blueberry Pie and I LOVE IT. Maybe I'll marry it. Sorry Suge.

Mom's Blueberry Pie
2 Pints (to 3 pints) Blueberries (or for all you folks like me that can't convert 4-6 cups)
Sugar
1 dash (to 2 dashes) Nutmeg
2 tbs (to 3 tbs) Flour (optional)
2 whole pie crusts
1 stick butter, sliced into pats

In a large bowl place the fresh blueberries.
Coat them with regular white sugar, not too much,
just enough to bring out the natural sweetness.
Throw in a dash or two of nutmeg and a few tbs of all purpose flour.
If you prefer a pie that's more juicy leave it out.
Pour the blueberries into the pie crust and top with 8-10 small pats of butter.
Cover with a second pie crust. Press both edges together, tucking the dough under as needed.
Cut three or four slits in the top of the pie for ventilation.
Bake at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

FYI: I always add the flour and I use 2 dashes (at least) of Nutmeg.
It's a hit, even with people like Suge, who insist on only eating chocolate dessert.
