BLUEBERRY PIE

Bake at 450° for 15 minutes; then at 350° for 35 minutes.
Makes 1 nine-inch pie

1 recipe LEMON PASTRY
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 cups washed blueberries
1 teaspoon milk
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
1 tablespoon sugar

1. Roll half the pastry on lightly floured board or pastry cloth to 12-inch round; fit into 9-inch pie plate; trim overhang to 1 inch.
2. Mix 2/3 cup sugar, tapioca, and spices; stir into berries; fill shell.
3. Roll out remaining pastry; cut out a 9-inch round (use inverted cake pan for guide); fold in half; with knife cut out 3 petal designs.
4. Place folded pastry over half the fruit filling; unfold to cover pie; fold overhang up; press edges together to seal; flute; brush top with milk; sprinkle with lemon rind and 1 tablespoon sugar.
5. Bake in very hot oven (450°) 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350° and bake 35 minutes longer, or until juice bubbles. Serve warm.

LEMON PASTRY

Sift 2 cups sifted flour with 1 teaspoon salt into medium-size bowl; cut in 2/3 cup shortening with pastry blender or 2 knives. Combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice with 3 1/2 tablespoons water; sprinkle liquid over flour mixture, mixing lightly with fork just until dough holds together.

1. A truly perfect pie begins with a crust that is so tender-crisp it will melt in his mouth. Add a little lemon juice to water when mixing pastry to accent the fruit’s fresh flavor; handle gently, for overmixing toughens crust.
2. Make the pie filling sweet and lightly spiced. Mix the tapioca (it thickens juice as pie cooks) and spices thoroughly with sugar before sprinkling over berries so flavor and thickening will be evenly distributed.
3. Make a petal top this way: Roll out pastry; cut a 9-inch round; fold round in half; with knife cut out center petal; using cutout as pattern, cut other two; place folded pastry on pie; unfold to make top crust.
4. Now seal pie to keep in all the juice. Moisten top crust around edge; fold bottom-crust overhang up over top crust; press together to make stand-up edge; flute. Brush top with milk; sprinkle with lemon rind, sugar.
