Description
A delightful mulberry pie with a buttery crust and sweet-tart filling, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup salted butter, cold, cubed
- 1/2 cup runny goat’s yogurt or buttermilk
- 6 cups ripe mulberries, stems removed
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- Zest from one medium lemon
- Juice from 1/2 medium lemon (approx. 2 tablespoons)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- Incorporate the cold, cubed butter, using your fingers to mix until you achieve a crumbly texture with visible chunks of butter.
- Create a well in the center, then stir in the goat’s yogurt or buttermilk. Gradually bring the flour mixture into the well, forming a ball of dough—don’t worry about it being perfectly smooth.
- Divide the dough into two discs. Wrap each in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Thoroughly wash the mulberries, removing stems if necessary.
- In a bowl, mix mulberries with white sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, a pinch of salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.
- Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface to 1/8-inch thick, about 12 inches in diameter. Place it in a greased pie pan, leaving excess dough hanging over the edges.
- Pour the mulberry mixture into the crust, spreading evenly.
- Roll out the second dough disc, cut into 11 strips, and create a lattice top over the filling. Trim and crimp the edges of the crust.
- Beat an egg with a teaspoon of water and brush the lattice crust. Sprinkle sugar on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for 15 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for about 45 minutes until the top turns golden and filling thickens.
- Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
