Ingredients
Blueberry Pie Filling
2
cups
fresh blueberries
1
teaspoon
corn starch
3
tablespoons
white sugar
1
teaspoon
cinnamon
1
juice of
one lemon wedge (about a teaspoon)
Pie Crust
1 1/2
cups
all purpose flour
1
pinch
salt
1/2
cup
Armour Premium All-Natural Lard
4
tablespoons
ice water with cubes in it
*only use as needed. My crust needed 3 tablespoons of ice water.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375.
Grease a 12 count muffin tin lightly with lard.
For Pie Crust filling
In a large bowl combine berries, sugar, corn starch, lemon juice, and cinnamon fully; set aside.
For Crust
In a bowl, add flour, lard, salt, and work in 1 tablespoon of ice water as needed.
Use floured hands to work the dough until fully combined and not sticky.
To make individual pie crusts, roll out dough to 1/4" thick.
I used a large mason jar lid which was the right size for the circles. You will have to re-roll out dough maybe twice for all the crusts.
You will have some excess dough to use for toppers. This is optional but I had a star cookie cutter just small enough to make this size.
Place each crust into a muffin tin space, and then fill with blueberry filling mixture.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until crusts slightly golden brown and filling is bubbly.
