To use:
- Use flavouring ingredients. Blueberry pie filling doesn''t need a lot of ingredients, but it still tastes amazing. Blueberries are already quite sweet on their own, so you only need to add a little sugar. Don''t forget the lemon zest and the juice of a fresh lemon. Adding a hint of cinnamon gives the blueberry pie a subtle touch that really brings out the natural flavour of the blueberries.
- We use 2 ingredients to thicken it: we use a mixture of cornstarch and flour. If the pie is baked long enough, the blueberry jam filling sets and thickens nicely.
For the icing on the cake, make the filling with butter. A knob of butter adds richness and helps the filling ingredients to bind together.

Brush the top of the pastry with egg wash. The egg coating promises a crispier crust and helps develop that distinctive golden sheen. Without it, the dough is dull and without shine.
The butter and the egg coating can be omitted, but when it comes to the sprinkling, crystal sugar is a must.It adds a little crunch and sparkle to the sweet pies.
