Preparation

Step 1

For Crust:
Mix flour and salt, then cut in butter with pastry cutter. Add 2-4 Tablespoons ice water and mix with fork until a ball forms. Form into two balls and flatten. Roll out two pie crusts. Line pie pan with one and cut slashes or decorations in the other.

Berry Filling:
Mix berries, sugar and flour lightly and pour into unbaked pie crust. Put second crust over the top and seal at edges. Before baking brush pie top with half and half (milk works) and sprinkle lightly with sugar.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Lower temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 45 minutes or until nicely brown.

Let cool slightly and serve warm with ice cream. Our family tradition is to eat left overs for breakfast.
