Creamy Blueberry Pie & Vanilla Sauce image

This is a typical springtime Finnish recipe. It's so good my friends and I keep having to straighten out the edges of the pie until there isn't any left! This is also wonderful when made gluten-free.

Time 50m

Yield 1 Pie

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/3 cups flour (or 3/4 cup rice flour, 1/2 cup potato flour for gluten free option)
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup butter
1 egg
1/2 liter berries (if frozen, roll them in potato flour)
3/4 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
3 cups milk
1 egg
4 tablespoons potato flour
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup sugar (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Sift flour, sugar, and baking powder, then cut in butter and vanilla until resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Mix in the egg until relatively even consistency and pat dough onto the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
  • Pour berries over crust and in a separate bowl mix topping ingredients together. Pour over berries and bake for 1/2 hour and let stand until room temperature (center will be loose).
  • Meanwhile, prepare the vanilla sauce by putting milk, potato flour, and egg into a sauce pan. (To avoid lumps stir the potato flour in maybe 1/2 cup of milk and then add it to the rest). Heat over medium element just until boiling point while stirring with a wire whisk (this avoids lumps).
  • Once heated through and slightly thickened, add the sugar and vanilla and continue stirring for another 2 minutes Let the sauce cool and then refrigerate it until cold. This pie is usually served at room temperature with cold vanilla sauce.
