  • Preparation: 50 min
  • Cooking: 30 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (133 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 15.5 g Butter, unsalted, soft
  • 15.5 g Sugar
  • 12.5 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 19 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 0.5 g Baking powder
  • 45 g Bilberries (or blueberries), fresh or frozen
  • 25 g Kermaviili (or reduced-fat sour cream)
  • 0.3 g Vanilla extract

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C and butter a 24 cm pie dish.
  2. Beat the soft butter with two-thirds of the sugar until pale, then beat in half the egg. Mix the flour with the baking powder and stir it in to a soft dough.
  3. With floured fingers, press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
  4. Spread the bilberries over the base; frozen ones can go in straight from the freezer.
  5. Whisk the kermaviili with the rest of the egg, the rest of the sugar and the vanilla, and pour it over the berries.
  6. Bake on a low shelf for 25-30 minutes, until the filling has set and the edges are golden.
  7. Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes so the filling firms up, then cut into 8 slices. Serve warm or cold, often with vanilla sauce or ice cream.
