Bake Summer's Best Blackberry Pie
Categories: 5th Grade
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add butter and shortening and mix in using two knives until the clumps are pea-sized. Add ice water, teaspoon by teaspoon. Use as little water as you can and stop as soon as you can form the dough into a ball; overmixing will make it tough. It’s okay if you can still see pieces of butter in the dough. Separate into two balls of dough (one larger than the other for the bottom), wrap in plastic wrap and let rest in refrigerator 20 minutes or longer.
Using a floured rolling pin, roll out larger portion on a floured pastry cloth or cutting board. Set gently into ungreased pie pan, patting down edges. Continue chilling other portion of dough until you have made the filling and are ready to roll out top crust (it will get sticky as it softens).
1 cup sugar (adjust according to sweetness of berries)
Preheat oven to 350.
