Mini Blueberry Pies

Last night at 11 o'clock, I hit a fork in the road. I could try and go to sleep, or I could stay up for the next two hours making a blueberry pie. The pie won. Much to my chagrin, however, I did not have enough blueberries to make a full pie. Then I remembered that I have these little casserole dishes that would make wonderful individual servings. It is called "thinking." Try it sometime. Let's begin:
Make a pie crust. Cut it into fourths and roll them out. Layer the bottom of each casserole dish with a mini crust. Toss blueberries with 1/2c sugar, 2tbl cornstarch and some lemon juice if you wish. Add to dish and then top with another mini crust. Shape crust in decorative manner.

375 deg and half an hour later you got yourself some nice ass mini pies. I made these fuckers in an hour but it look longer than that for them to cool. Do no expect immediate gratification. Eat it.

"Make a pie crust."

Shit, that sounds like something out of a Chilton's manual.

"Step 1: Remove engine."

Actually, that's a great idea. I was low on blueberries the other day and snuck into my neighbor's yard, she was on vacation, and stole blackberries off her bush to fill my pie.
Next time I'll do mini's and avoid theft.

You are KILLING me with this. I'll think of you and your baby pies when I'm dining at the Marriot in Cincinatti tomorrow morning.

Exactly which "baby pies" of CA's are you referring to? That's hot!

My baby pies are not for consumption!
