Fresh picked blackberries come together in a personal size blackberry pie with an all butter crust and vanilla bean ice cream. Simplicity at it’s best.
Time to Get Picking Blackberries
I have the fondest memories of my grandfather out back picking bowls of blackberries. He would spend hours picking these blackberries because, of course, you have to get them while they are good. When he brought them back to the house, my mother would whip up one of her famous blackberry pies and we would eat it warm from the oven with vanilla ice cream.
All About The Crust
I’ve tried sooo many different ways to make crust and have settled on ALL BUTTER. People try too hard when making pie crust. It really just needs to be simple and all butter is the way to go for the flakiest crust. I like taking a very cold stick of butter and grating it straight into the bowl of flour. Then, very gently, crumble the butter and flour into crumbs. Add very cold water a little at a time until dough forms. It’s that simple.
