Blueberry Pie

Ingredients
For the pie dough:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces
6 tablespoons very cold water
For the pie filling:
3 pints fresh blueberries
1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup flour
zest and juice from 2 limes
1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon. cold water for egg wash

Instructions
To make the pie dough, combine the flour, sugar and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix briefly to blend. Add the butter and mix on medium-low speed until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal, with the largest butter pieces no larger than small peas. Add the water and mix on low speed just until the dough comes together.
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
To make the pie, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured work surface, split the ball of dough into two halves. Roll out each half of the dough to create a top and bottom pie crust. Line a 9 inch pie plate with the bottom crust. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the blueberries, 1 ¼ cup sugar, flour and the zest and juice of the two limes. Mix well. Pour the mixture into the crust lined pie plate and top with the top crust. Cut of excess dough. Press the top and bottom crust edges together to seal. Cut slits for ventilation and brush with egg wash. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar over the top. Cover the edge of the pie with a pie shield and bake for one hour. If the top starts to over-brown, place tin foil over the top.
