Blackberry pies

The grade 3, 4, 5, and 6 children made blackberry and apple pies with their own home made pastry! Great job  guys. Here is their shortcrust recipe. We used eggs from our chickens and blackberries from Bullarto!

BLACKBERRY AND APPLE PIE

Rub 125gms cold butter into 250gms of plain flour with 1 dessertspoon of sugar.
Add the yolk of 1 egg or 1 whole bantam egg and enough cold water to make a soft dough.
Place in a plastic bag and chill for 1/2 hour in the fridge.

Filling
Peel and dice 2 apples, stew lightly with sugar to taste.
Mix in 1 punnet blackberries, 1 tablespoon icing sugar and 1 tablespoon cornflour.

Roll out pastry to 2mm and line a greased pie tin. Place filling inside and pastry lid on top.
Crimp edges and glaze with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 180 - 200 degrees until golden.
