Step by Step guide

Step 1

For the dough, mix the flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons of sugar in a food processor. Add the diced butter and blend again until the mixture resembles crumbs. While mixing, gradually add 1 cup of water. Mix until the dough starts to come together, adding a little more water if necessary. Divide the dough into 2 pieces and shape them into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 392°F.

Step 3

For the filling, in a large bowl, combine the blueberries, cornstarch, 0.5 cups of sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

Step 4

On a floured surface, roll out 1 piece of dough into a rectangle the size of the baking dish. Place it in the dish and press the edges. Spoon the filling onto the dough. Brush the edges of the dough with water. Roll out the second piece of dough and place it on top. Pinch the edges together and make slits in the top layer of dough with a knife.
