recipe courtesy of Jamie Shields, E-How.com
Ingredients for dough:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 stick cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup cold vegetable shortening
ice water
Ingredients for filling:
6 ounces blueberries, raspberries
16 ounces strawberries
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. lemon zest
1/4 tsp. salt
1 egg
DIRECTIONS: Step 1 : In a food processor, pulse flour, salt and sugar. Add butter and shortening and pulse until the mixture resembles small peas. Add the ice water and pulse until evenly moistened. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and gather into a ball. Divide dough half and form two disks. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour. Step 2: While the dough is chilling, combine berries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and salt in a medium bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. Step 3: Preheat oven to 375F. Remove 1 dough disk from refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough until about 1/8” thick. Use a cookie cutter to cut out star shapes. Place stars onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat process until you have used all the dough. Step 4: Remove filling from refrigerator. Place a scoop of filling in the center of each pie bottom. Cover with reserved pie tops and seal by pressing edges together with a fork. In a small bowl whisk egg. Brush sealed pies with egg. Step 5: Bake until berries bubble and crust is lightly browned on top, about 25 minutes.
