Flaky golden pastry wrapped around a sweet blueberry filling, crafted into spooky mummy shapes. Perfect for Halloween parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Granulated sugar (optional, for sprinkling)
  • Candy eyes (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  4. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut out rectangles (approximately 4 inches by 3 inches). Place a spoonful of blueberry filling in the center of half of the rectangles. Cut thin strips from the remaining rectangles and arrange them over the filling to create a mummy effect.
  5. Use a fork to press the edges of the pies together, sealing the filling inside. Brush each pie with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  6. Arrange the pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  7. Once cool, place candy eyes on each mummy pie. They’ll stick easily to the pastry.

Notes

[‘Keep your butter cold for a flaky crust.’, ‘Don’t overfill the pies to prevent bursting during baking.’, ‘Get creative with the mummy design; uneven strips can look spookier.’, ‘Freeze unbaked pies for later and bake directly from frozen.’]
