Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup salted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/2 cup goat’s milk yogurt or buttermilk
- 6 cups fresh mulberries
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 pinch salt
- Zest of 1 medium lemon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Add cold butter and work it into the flour until crumbly. Add yogurt or buttermilk and form a dough. Divide into two discs, wrap, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Wash mulberries thoroughly and remove stems if desired. Cut large berries into smaller pieces.
- In a bowl, combine mulberries, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, salt, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well and let sit to release juices.
- Roll out one dough disc to about 1/8 inch thick and place it into a greased pie dish. Press gently and trim edges.
- Pour the mulberry filling into the crust, including the juices.
- Roll out the second dough disc and cut into strips. Arrange in a lattice pattern over the filling.
- Trim and crimp edges. Beat egg with water and brush over the crust. Sprinkle lightly with sugar.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 45 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use cold butter to achieve a flaky crust texture.
- If using frozen mulberries, thaw and drain excess liquid before use.
- Let the pie cool completely to allow the filling to thicken properly.
- Cover crust edges with foil if they brown too quickly during baking.
- Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
