Amy.......have tried to find it, but cannot remember which one it was, found it on the internet..........
I made a sweet shortcut pastry in my magimix....... which I rested in fridge....then put half in pie dish....then added blueberries.......look at classic summer recipe blueberry pie ,,'Kitchen' on the net, for the quantities because you have to use a thickener.... cornstarch..... cornflour to us! and I added cinnamon because another recipe suggested it, and we like cinnamon! also lemon juice and butter! then add the rest of the pastry to cover slit top glaze cook 20 mins then turn down for another 20 mins.......you will need to check for oven temps.....the filling does not want to be too sloppy otherwise it will boil out....but not too set either.... sounds tricky but it wasn't.......good luck.....it's certainly worth making....best with ice cream....... custard..... crème fraiche.
