Equipment
- Food processor
- 23cm pie dish
Ingredients
- 300 g plain flour plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp icing sugar
- 225 g unsalted butter cut into cubes
- 5 tbsp ice-cold water
- 1 egg yolk for brushing
For the filling
- 800 g fresh blackberries
- 100 g caster sugar plus extra if needed
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp ground almonds
Method
- Pulse the flour, salt and icing sugar together in a food processor a couple of times to mix together. Add the cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs (alternatively, do this with your hands).
- Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms large clumps and holds together when you press it.
- Dust your work surface with flour and tip the dough out onto it. Knead it a couple of times to bring it together. Form into a ball, flatten it, cover in cling-film and refrigerate while you make the filling.
- For the filling, combine the blackberries, sugar, cornflour, lemon juice and cinnamon and leave for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 170°C fan [375°F/Gas mark 5]. You will need a 23cm pie dish.
- Divide the pastry into two portions, one slightly bigger for the base of the dish. Roll out the larger piece on a lightly floured surface to a 3mm thickness and use it to line the pie dish. Cover with cling-film and refrigerate while you make the top. Roll out the remaining pastry and cut out a flying witch silhouette, a crescent moon and some little stars using a paper template. You can cut out other shapes, if you like.
- Sprinkle the ground almonds over the base of the pie and top with the blackberry mixture. Top with the cut-out shapes and brush them with the egg yolk. Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden brown. If the top is cooking quicker than the bottom, cover with foil. Serve hot.
