Ingredients:
- 450g huckleberries
- 100g granulated sugar
- 12g cornstarch
- 15ml lemon juice
- 2g lemon zest
- 1.5g salt
- 160g all-purpose flour
- 115g unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 60ml ice water
- 50g egg, beaten
- 25g turbinado sugar
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, toss the huckleberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt together until evenly coated.
- Allow the berry mixture to sit for 10 minutes to hydrate the starch and prevent filling leaks.
- Mix the flour and salt, then cut in the chilled butter until you see pea sized lumps.
- Stir in ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough just holds together.
- Roll out the dough on parchment paper into a rough 12-inch circle.
- Spoon the berry filling into the center of the dough, leaving a 2-inch border around the edges.
- Gently fold and pleat the edges of the dough over the filling, leaving the center exposed.
- Brush the folded dough edges with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the crust is deep golden brown.
