Tips and Tricks
Choosing the Best Blueberries
For the best flavor, use fresh wild blueberries if they are in season. If not, frozen wild blueberries work great too. Just make sure to defrost and drain them before using.
Prepping the Pie Crust
Using a refrigerated pie crust saves time and effort. If it’s too stiff, let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before cutting out the circles. This will make it easier to work with.
Evenly Filling the Pies
To ensure each hand pie has an equal amount of filling, use a measuring spoon. This helps them bake evenly and look uniform.
Preventing Soggy Bottoms
Sprinkle a little cornstarch on the pie crust before adding the filling. This will help absorb any extra moisture from the blueberries.
Cooling Completely
Let the pies cool completely in the muffin tin before removing them. This helps them set properly and makes them easier to handle without falling apart.
Garnishing with Mint
Chop the fresh mint finely for garnish. This adds a nice pop of color and a hint of fresh flavor that complements the blueberries.
