- 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
- Heat the oven to 200°C and butter a 24 cm pie dish.
- 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.
- With floured fingers, press the dough evenly over the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
- Spread the bilberries over the base; frozen ones can go in straight from the freezer.
- Whisk the kermaviili with the rest of the egg, the rest of the sugar and the vanilla, and pour it over the berries.
- Bake on a low shelf for 25-30 minutes, until the filling has set and the edges are golden.
- 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.
