Wild Blueberry Pie

The family had a lobster fest for Father's Day, so what better dessert to bring than Maine Wild Blueberry Pie.  I used  this recipe  from Everyday Pie.   I used an all-butter crust. When making the crust, I read the essay on Sally's Baking addiction about crusts and changed my method a little bit.  I prefer to make the crust by hand and dump it onto plastic wrap and press into a disc shape.  But sometimes the crust is a bit dry and hard to roll out. So this time I added a couple more very scant tablespoons of water, and dumped the crust onto a floured counter and worked it until there was no loose flour and all the flour got fat incorporated into it. This process did make the dough get a bit warmer than I liked.  The next day when I went to roll it out, I could see a few spots where the flour was "stained" with butter in a manner resembling grease spots.  I'm not sure if due to this, or to the long baking time, but although not tough the crust wasn't as flaky
