Instructions to make a Finnish Blueberry Pie

Preheat oven to 440°F/225°C. Butter a pie plate (around 10 inches / 26 cm).

The dough takes only 10 minutes to make! Mix the butter and sugar together in a bowl. Add the egg in and mix again.

Put flour, flaked oats, baking powder and salt in a separate cup and mix. Then add them in the bowl and mix quickly so that all is even. Last, whisk in the sour cream.

You now have a super sticky dough, awesome!

Just scrape the dough onto to pie plate. I use a spatula to put it there. Sometimes I style the dough to make a bit of a hole and taller sides. Who am I kidding… 99% of times, I just make the dough somewhat even base for the blueberries.

Mix blueberries with starch and sugar. Put on top of the dough.

If you are using fresh blueberries, you don’t need potato starch at all. Maybe a teaspoon or two if the berries feel super watery.

You really need starch, when you use frozen blueberries. No matter if the berries are defrosted or still ice cold, they have a lot of water inside them.

Bake the pie for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with vanilla sauce or vanilla ice cream! Blueberry pie is definitely most delicious when it’s still warm from the oven!

Simple, super tasty Finnish blueberry pie is ready!
