Ingredients
Pastry
- 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 240g
- ¾ teaspoon table salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 16 tablespoons unsalted butter cold, 227g
- ½ cup sour cream cold, 113g
Filling
- 2 cups blueberries fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch or 1 tablespoon Instant Clearjel (14g)

- ⅛ teaspoon table salt

Instructions
Bake Mode
- To make the pastry: Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the butter, working it in to make a coarse/crumbly mixture. Leave most of the butter in large, pea-sized pieces.
- Add the sour cream, and stir until the mixture starts to come together in chunks. Turn it out onto a floured work surface, and bring it together with a few quick kneads.
- Pat the dough into a rough log, and roll it into an 8" x 10" rectangle. Dust both sides of the dough with flour, and starting with a shorter end, fold it in three like a business letter.
- Flip the dough over, give it a 90° turn on your work surface, and roll it again into an 8" x 10" rectangle. Fold it in three again.
Notes
For frozen berries, use 2 ½ tablespoons cornstarch or 1 ½ tablespoons ClearJel.
