Ingredients
Method
Crust
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and blend it in using your hands.
- Create a well in the center, pour in the goat’s yogurt or buttermilk, and mix until it forms a dough.
- Divide the dough into two discs, wrap each in plastic wrap, and chill in the fridge for at least one hour.
Filling
- Wash the mulberries thoroughly and remove the stems if desired.
- In a bowl, combine the mulberries with the white sugar, brown sugar, corn starch, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well.
- Let the mixture sit while preparing the dough.
Assemble the Mulberry Pie
- Take one disc of dough from the fridge, flour the work surface, and roll it to about 1/8-inch thick.
- Butter the pie pan and carefully lift the crust into it, pressing the dough into the pan.
- Pour the mulberry filling into the crust.
- Take the second disc from the fridge, flour the surface, and roll it out to the same thickness.
- Cut it into 11 strips about an inch wide to create a lattice top and weave these strips over the filling.
Bake
- Beat an egg with a teaspoon of water and brush it over the lattice top, then sprinkle a little sugar on the dough.
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and bake the pie for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F and bake for about 45 more minutes or until the top is golden brown.
Serve
- Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve it warm or at room temperature, especially with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Make sure your butter is very cold to get a flaky crust. Don’t skip the lemon zest and juice as they enhance the flavors of the mulberries. Allow the pie to cool completely to help the filling set properly.
