Yield 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 unbaked pastry shell, or use no roll pie crust recipe
4 cups blueberries (2 pints)
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse berries and pick out any undesirable ones. After the berries have drained and are somewhat dry pour them into the pastry shell. In a small bowl combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the milk and 1/2 cup of the whipping cream, whisk until smooth. Pour over the berries and bake for 45 minutes. After about 30 minutes, you may want to cover the edges of the crust with foil if the pastry looks like it's getting too dark. Cool on a wire rack and refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Optional topping: Beat 1/2 cup of very cold whipping cream with 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract to top the pie before serving.
