Ingredients

CRUST

  • 2 1/2 cups King Arthur Gluten-Free Flour or brown rice flour blend*
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon Instant ClearJel (optional; not packed in a gluten-free facility)
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 tablespoons (3/4 cup) cold butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon lemon juice or vinegar
  • *See recipe for this blend in "tips," below.

FILLING

  • 2 1/2 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons King Arthur Gluten-Free Flour or 2 tablespoons Instant ClearJel
  • pinch of salt
  • 4 teaspoons lemon juice

TOPPING

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the flour or flour blend, sugar, ClearJel, xanthan gum, and salt.
  2. Cut the cold butter into pats, then work the pats into the flour mixture until it's crumbly, with some larger, pea-sized chunks of butter remaining.
  3. Whisk the eggs and vinegar or lemon juice together till very foamy. Mix into the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture holds together, adding additional cold water if necessary.
  4. Divide in half, shape each half into a flattened rectangle, wrap well, and chill for an hour, or up to overnight.
  5. Allow the dough to rest at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes before rolling.
  6. To make the filling: If you're using fresh berries, rinse and drain them. Place the fresh (or frozen) blueberries in a saucepan. Whisk together the sugar, flour or ClearJel, and salt, and add to the berries along with the lemon juice, stirring to combine. Set the pan over medium heat. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked berries to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
  7. Preheat the oven to 425°F; place a rack on the middle shelf. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  8. To assemble the pies: Roll each piece of dough into a 7" x 17 1/2" rectangle. With a straight edge and pastry wheel, cut out ten 3 1/2" squares from each piece.
  9. Divide the filling among 10 of the squares, using about a heaping tablespoon for each. Brush some of the beaten egg along the edges of each filled square.
  10. Cut a vent into the each of the remaining 10 squares, using a decorative cutter, if desired.
  11. Top each filled square with a vented square, and press along the edges with the tines of a fork or a pie crust crimper to seal.
  12. Brush the top of each pie with some of the remaining beaten egg, and sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Transfer the pies to the prepared baking sheet.
  13. Bake the pies for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
  14. TIPS FROM OUR BAKERS

    • *Make your own blend
      Many of our gluten-free recipes use our King Arthur Gluten-Free Multi-Purpose Flour, which includes ingredients that reduce the grittiness sometimes found in gluten-free baked goods. Our flour also increases the shelf life of your treats, keeping them fresh longer.

      The following make-at-home blend, featuring stabilized brown rice flour, works pretty well when substituted; and it tastes better than a blend using regular brown rice flour.

      Whisk together 6 cups (28 1/2 ounces) King Arthur stabilized brown rice flour; 2 cups (10 3/4 ounces) potato starch; and 1 cup (4 ounces) tapioca flour or tapioca starch. Store airtight at room temperature. Note: You can substitute white rice flour for the brown rice flour if you like; it'll make your baked goods grittier (unless you manage to find a finely ground version).
    • Why no listed weight for the blueberries? Berries can vary quite a bit in weight, and we found that measuring by volume is best in this case.

    Italian Easter Bread Recipe

    The Italians love to celebrate holidays with food and Easter is one of those special holidays.  The breads come in every shape and size. Many are sweet, braided  and wrapped around eggs. The Neapolitans have a delicious savory one stuffed with ricotta and sausage or ham.

    Braised Lettuce (Laitues Braises): A Take On Julia Child’s Recipe

    You can use almost any lettuce, such as chicory, or frisee, or Boston Bib if you are busing large heads, cut them in half. We made these pescartarian because of the shrimp stock, but vegan is easy with vegetable stock, or if serving with beef, a  beef stock and bacon. Braised lettuce is a delicious garnish for poultry, white meats such as veal or pork, or steamed white fish. It can be the main accompanied by a warm sweet potato salad. Serves 4 4 heads Romaine lettuce hearts  4 thick slices of bacon (if making not vegetarian or vegan), cut into lardon strips 1 small onion , diced 2 carrots, diced 1 tablespoon/15g plus 1/2 tablespoon/7 butter divided  1 teaspoon/5ml olive oil 1/2 cup/125ml shrimp or seafood stock (see notes above) 1/2 cup/125ml cup white wine or dry white vermouth bouquet garni: 1 parsley branch, 1 branch of thyme,1  bay leaf tied to a cheesecloth ½ tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon parsley Trim stems of lettuce and remove wilted leave

    Why Chocolate Feels So Good ... It's All Down To Lubrication

      Date: January 13, 2023 Source: University of Leeds Summary: Scientists have decoded the physical process that takes place in the mouth when a piece of chocolate is eaten, as it changes from a solid into a smooth emulsion that many people find totally irresistible. By analyzing each of the steps, the interdisciplinary research team hope it will lead to the development of a new generation of luxury chocolates that will have the same feel and texture but will be healthier to consume. During the moments it is in the mouth, the chocolate sensation arises from the way the chocolate is lubricated, either from ingredients in the chocolate itself or from saliva or a combination of the two. Fat plays a key function almost immediately when a piece of chocolate is in contact with the tongue. After that, solid cocoa particles are released and they become important in terms of the tactile sensation, so fat deeper inside the chocolate plays a rather limited role and could be reduced without having

    9 Professional Styling Tips From Odysseus Bogioglou

    Sharing from Odysseus Bogioglou ---wonderful Greek Chef and Food Stylist 1)Garnishing – Garnish has to be something you eat and not there just to decorate. 2) Po sitioning – There is talk of a virtual clock where meat is at 2 o’clock, starch at 10 and veggies at 6. 3) Less is more is one of the rules. A big plate with a relatively small portion puts the food more in focus. 4) Plates – White or off-white plates make the food stand out more too. 5) Color – There has to be a certain color match. 6) Focus – The main part of the dish, usually the meat should be put most in focus for example a little elevated. 7) Plating - Food has to be simply plated so the person eating should be able to eat without having to go through an intricate design to be able to eat. 8) Setting the Stage – The dish has a face and the part in focus (usually the prettiest) should be towards the person eating, I think we can safely say the "eater" in this case is the camera. 9) Sketch

    Stuffed Cabbage Leaves, Passover Perfection

    Here is a re-do of my Polish Babci’s Galumpki.  These can be done with or without meat, so they can be pareve. These are also rice free, so they can be eaten by both Sephardic and Ashkenazi sects, and goodness knows there are PLENTY of potatoes around during Pesach. If you don't want the starch try it with quinoa (it’s a seed so it can be eaten during Passover). Serves 4-6 Meat 1 medium head cabbage, cored 1 small onion, diced 1 pound/450g ground turkey 3 cups/450g shredded raw potato ½ teaspoon/2ml salt ¼ teaspoon/1ml black pepper 1 teaspoon/5ml dried dill 28 ounce/794g tomato puree or sauce (if you have leftover spaghetti sauce use that) Preheat oven to 350F/176C/GasMark 4 Using a sharp knife cut the core out of the cabbage bottom. Heat a large stock pot with salted water to a simmer.  Place the cabbage in the water. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes until you can pull off individual leaves. You should end up with 15-20 leaves that are big enough to use
