Danish's Small Luxus Blueberrie Pies.



About 6-8 pieces. (Maybe more, maybe less)



RICH SHORTCRUST PASTRY.
200 g flour
150 g butter
100 g sugar
1 egg yolk
100 g marzipan
1 vanilla pod

Crumble the butter and the marzipan into the flour and mix sugar in.
(Save some sugar, to mix with the vanilla).
Add the egg yolk and gather the pastry.
Let the pastry rest cold for about a hour or two.

FILLING.
About 250 g of frozen or fresh blueberries
A handful of sugar
Pure raw marzipan (with 60 % almonds or more)
Dark chocolate (70-80 % chocolate)

Take blueberries and sugar, and mix it gentle together.

Now roll out the pastry, in suitable thickness, and cut out a round piece of pastry, which fits into a small round aluminium tin (tin) aprox: 3-4 cm high and 8 cm in diameter (if you want, you can grease the tins with butter). The pastry might break, but just patch it together again in the tins, it have nothing to say. (shortcrust pastry is not easy to work with). Can prebake the bottom about 6-8 minuts at 200 degrees c/ 392 F. (But I never do that)

Then take the maricpan and crumble it into the tins in a good layer. Take the blueberry filling, and fill it up almost to the rim of the tins. Cut the chocolate in small pieces, and sprinkle it on top of the blueberry filling.
Now roll out a lit for the pie. Brush with egg, and sprinkle on some nib sugar. Make a small cross in the middle of the lit.

Bake the pies in the middle of the oven on a grating, in aprox 25-35 minutes, on 180-190 degrees C (356-374 F).

Let the pies cool of. Then take the tins of, serve with Greek yoghurt (10%) , and a cup of hot coffee or chocolate.

The pies can be frozen down for later use. Just freeze them in their tins, or you can remove the tins before freezing them, in a freezing bag. But make sure, when you take them out of the freezer (and if you want a varm pie within minutes), that you REMOVE the tins ( if they still are in the tins), before you put them in the microwave on a plate, for about 2-3 minutes (if the pies get to long, they will fall down, but the pies still taste good).
