Recipe 1

Classic blueberry pie is prepared very easily and with a minimum of products that can be found in the refrigerator of any housewife. For a pie for 6 servings, 250 g of premium wheat flour is enough for us (you can use the first, but not lower!), Butter or margarine for baking - 125 g, sugar - depending on personal preferences: someone may limit themselves to 2 -3 tablespoons, and those with a sweet tooth can add more. Blueberry pie will not suffer from this. Next, a bag of vanillin or two - vanilla sugar. Two because the taste and smell of sugar is less intense than pure vanillin. One and a half tablespoons of starch, better than potato; a pinch of s alt and two eggs. That's all you need for the test.

1. Sift flour, mix with s alt, add butter, chopped into small cubes or grated on a coarse grater. Until then, keep the oil in the refrigerator so that it is cold. To make the dough for a blueberry pie, the flour should be mixed, more precisely, rubbed with butter. Beat in eggs, add cold water and knead not too hard dough. It is wrapped incellophane and sent to the refrigerator for about an hour.
2. The dough from the refrigerator is divided into 2 unequal parts. The one that is larger (about 2/3 of the total) should be rolled out according to the shape and size of the container in which the blueberry pie will be baked. The form should be with sides. It is thoroughly lubricated with oil, you can also vegetable. Sprinkle the bottom and walls of the mold with breadcrumbs (semolina, if there are no crackers, or just flour). Put the rolled dough into it, stick around the sides.
3. Now it's up to the stuffing. If the berry is frozen, it is not thawed. Blueberries are mixed with starch, sugar (to taste), the remains of crackers. Spread on the dough.
4. The top of the pie is covered with the remaining rolled dough, the edges are carefully pinched so that the juice from the berries does not flow out.
5. Place in a preheated oven and bake for about half an hour at a temperature of 220 degrees. From time to time check readiness with a wooden knitting needle or a toothpick.
6. The finished cake is sprinkled with powdered sugar or smeared with whipped protein and sugar.

Recipe 2

The blueberry pie with cottage cheese is a real treat. To do this, blueberries should be mixed with cottage cheese until smooth. Also put on the dough (you can cook the same as in the previous recipe), grease the protein whipped with sugar on top and bake. Instead of protein, you can make a “lattice” from strips of dough. In any case, it will turn out very, very tasty!
