Preparation
Step 1
You can use any kind of berries. I use three types: cranberries, lingonberries, and black currants. If the berries are frozen, let them thaw and drain the excess liquid. Sift the flour ahead of time to aerate it.
Step 2
To make the dough, pour boiling water and vegetable oil into a small bowl.
Step 3
Add all the flour at once, along with baking soda and salt. Mix immediately to form a dough.
Step 4
The flour will quickly cook in the hot liquid, and the dough will form into a ball. It should be soft, pliable, and oily. Don’t over-knead it. Remember, flour absorbs moisture differently, so you may need slightly more or less.
Step 5
For the filling, chop the nuts and mix with half of the sugar.
Step 6
This dough makes one large pie or two small ones. Roll the dough into a circle on parchment paper.
Step 7
Mix the berries with the remaining sugar. If the berries are very juicy, add a bit of starch.
Step 8
Spread the nut mixture over the dough, leaving a small border. Then layer the berries on top. Fold the edges over the filling and pinch gently to secure. Sprinkle the crust with a bit of sugar.
Step 9
Cover the filling with foil to prevent it from leaking during baking. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 30–40 minutes.
Step 10
The pie should be lightly golden. Remove your summer berry pie from the oven and let it cool completely. Enjoy with tea!
