Pastry:
1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
6-8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 egg
2 or 3 tablespoons cold water
Blueberry Filling:
2 cups blueberries
1 tablespoon flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
Sour Cream Topping
1 cup sour cream
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

Make pastry: Measure dry ingredients into the bowl of a food processor. Cut desired amount of butter into 1/4 inch slices and add to bowl. Process briefly until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a cup or small bowl mix egg and water together. Add liquid to processor bowl then pulse only a second or two to distribute the moisture. Dump the crumbs into a 9 inch pie pan and press into the bottom and sides to form a crust. Put the berries into the shell and sprinkle the sugar, cardamom and flour mixture over the berries. In a small bowl, mix sour cream, egg, and vanilla together. Spread this over the berries. Bake in the bottom half of the oven at 350 degrees for ca. 40-45 minutes or until berries are bubbly. Cool to at least lukewarm to cut and eat.
