Blueberry Pigs Recipe

Blueberry Pigs Recipe

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup shortening
  • 6 tablespoons cold water
  • 4 cups blueberries
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter, chilled and diced
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls. On floured surface, roll from center to edges into 12 inch circle. Avoid rolling too thin.
  3. Spread approximately 2 cups blueberries on each rolled pastry, or enough to make a single layer of blueberries leaving a 2 inch border. Sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar and slices of butter.
  4. Roll pastry like a jelly-roll, tucking the ends as you roll, and place on a cookie sheet.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until golden brown.
