A delicious blueberry pie with a sweet filling and buttery topping, perfect for summer gatherings or family desserts, showcasing fresh or frozen blueberries in a flaky crust.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour berries into the unbaked pie crust.
- Cut margarine or butter into small pieces and place on top of the berries.
- Mix together sugar, self-rising flour, and eggs until well combined.
- Pour the sugar-flour-egg mixture over the berries and butter on top of the crust.
- Bake at 350°F for about 50 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, try using a mix of fresh and frozen blueberries. If you don't have self-rising flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Ensure the butter is cold when cutting it into pieces for better texture. This pie also works well with other fruits, so feel free to experiment.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this delicious blueberry pie warm or at room temperature, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a delightful contrast. It pairs beautifully with Granny'S Hot Rolls for a hearty meal. For a refreshing drink, consider serving it with iced tea or lemonade, which complements the sweetness of the pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered with plastic wrap or in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until warmed through. This will help maintain the crust's texture and the filling's flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other fruits instead of blueberries?
Yes, this recipe is quite versatile! You can substitute blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or a mix of your favorite berries. Just keep in mind that the sweetness may vary, so adjust the sugar accordingly based on the tartness of the fruit you choose.
How do I prevent the crust from getting soggy?
To prevent a soggy crust, you can pre-bake the pie crust for about 10 minutes before adding the filling. Additionally, ensure that the fruit is well-drained if using frozen berries. This will help maintain a crisp crust while baking.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the pie a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to cover it properly. If you prefer, you can also freeze it before baking. Just remember to adjust the baking time if baking from frozen.
