Ingredients

Scale

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
6 tablespoons very cold water
3 pints fresh blueberries
1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup flour
Zest and juice from 2 limes

Instructions

In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Mix briefly.
Add cold butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
Gradually add cold water until the dough forms. Shape into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out chilled dough into two circles for top and bottom crusts.
Line a pie plate with one crust. In a bowl, mix blueberries with sugar, flour, lime zest, and juice; pour into the crust.
Cover with the second crust, seal edges, and cut slits for ventilation. Brush with egg wash.
Bake for about one hour or until golden brown.
