  • Preparation: 140 min
  • Cooking: 55 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (170 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten

Ingredients

  • 55 g Shortcrust pastry
  • 90 g Blackberries
  • 19 g Sugar
  • 4 g Cornflour
  • 2 g Lemon juice

Method

  1. Makes a 23 cm pie, 8 slices; the amounts are for one slice, so multiply every ingredient by 8. Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F) with a baking tray inside. Line a 23 cm pie dish with half the pastry, leaving the edge overhanging.
  2. Gently toss the blackberries with all but a spoonful of the sugar, the cornflour and the lemon juice, and tip them into the case with any sugar left in the bowl.
  3. Roll out the rest of the pastry for the lid, dampen the rim of the base, lay the lid over and trim it, then press and crimp the edges together. Cut a few steam slits, brush the top with a little cold water and sprinkle with the rest of the sugar.
  4. Bake on the hot tray for 20 minutes, then lower the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and bake 30-35 minutes more, until the pastry is golden and thick purple juice bubbles up through the slits.
  5. Cool for at least 2 hours so the juices set before slicing.
