INSTRUCTIONS

To make the pie:  Preheat oven to 425F. Roll out half the dough 1/8
inch thick on a  lightly floured surface, fit it into a 9-inch (1
quart) pie plate,  and trim the edge, leaving a 1/2-inch overhang.
Chill the shell while  making the filling. In a large bowl toss
together well the  blueberries, the cornstarch, 1 cup of the sugar, the
lemon juice, the  nutmeg, and the salt, mound the filling in the shell,
and dot it with  the butter.  Roll out the remaining dough into a 13 to
14-inch round on the lightly  floured surface, cut out a 1 1/2-inch
star from the middle of the  round, and drape the round over the
filling. Trim the dough, leaving  a 1-inch overhang, fold the overhang
under the bottom crust, pressing  the edge to seal it, and crimp the
edge decoratively. Brush the crust  with the half-and-half or milk, cut
slits in the top crust around the  crust, and sprinkle the pie lightly
with the additional sugar. Bake  the pie in the bottom third of the
oven for 20 minutes, reduce the  temperature to 375F., and bake the pie
for 30 to 35 minutes more, or  until the crust is golden and the
filling is bubbling. Transfer the  pie to a rack and let it cool.  To
make the pate brisee:  In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the
vegetable  shortening, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal.
Add the 2  tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is
incorporated, adding the additional ice water if necessary to form a
dough, and form the dough into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and
chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.  Gourmet July 1993
