Blue Berry Pie

Hello!
Let me serve you something sweet and somewhat healthy :)
I'll be sharing with you Neopian Blue Berry Pie!
Blueberries are very expensive where I live so I opted for 2 individual pies instead of a big one.
For these two individual size pies you will need:
- 2 individual size pie dishes + two circles of parchment paper for the bottom
- 250 gr. of blueberries washed and very well drained (about one cup, maybe a little more)
- 1 store bought ready rolled shortcrust pastry
- 1 Tbsp of flour
- sugar, flour and powdered sugar as needed... oh, and save 6 blueberries for garnish :P

1 - Start by greasing the pie dishes with a bit of butter and line the bottom with the parchment paper. Set aside.
2 - Roll out the pastry and cut two circles of dough to fit in the pie dishes, so the circles have to be bigger than the pie dishes so they cover bottom and sides of the dishes. Cover the dishes with the pastry, carefully guiding the dough in instead of stretching it. Pierce the bottoms with a fork and set aside. Save the leftover pastry for later.
3 - In a bowl put the blueberries, flour and sugar and mix it all together so the blueberries are coated evenly with the flour and sugar. Try not to squish the berries. A note here: taste your blueberries before adding the sugar! Mine weren't that sweet but they weren't tart either so I only used 2 Tbsp of sugar.
Now divide the blueberries equally into each pie dish and arrange them so they are not piling up on the center. Set aside.
4 - Preheat your oven to 175º. C.
5 - Grab the pastry leftovers and sprinkle a surface with flour. Roll the pastry out again to the thickness it had before and cut 12 strips with about 1 cm. wide and long enough to go from one side of the pie dish to the other. Form a crisscross pattern on top of each pie, using 6 strips on each one and pinch the ends together with the sides as good as you can so they don't shrink back while baking.
6 - Put the pies in the oven and let them cook for about 30 minutes or until the crust is fully cooked though.
Dust with some powdered sugar and garnish with three blueberries in the center of each.
I know the crisscross I made is not exactly the same as the original in the picture but... I got my mind completely confused about it and ended up doing it the easiest way ;) Still, enjoy!
