Directions
Crust
Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of the all-purpose flour, ice water, and vinegar until well blended. In a large bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, confectioners' sugar and salt. Cut in shortening with 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add vinegar mixture and toss with a fork until moist. Press dough into a disk and chill, covered tightly with plastic wrap, for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 425°.

Step 3

Cut off one-third of the dough and return remaining dough to the refrigerator. Place the dough third between 2 pieces of parchment paper. Roll the dough out 1/4-inch thick and remove the top layer of paper. Use a small flower-shaped cookie cutter to cut out flowers. Slide the parchment paper onto a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Set aside. Keep oven on.

Step 4

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the remaining dough into a circle and press it into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges. With a fork, prick the bottom of the crust a few times. Set aside.

Filling
Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and cornstarch. Mix gently until berries are evenly coated. Pour the filling into the pie crust.

Step 2

Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, until crust is golden and filling just begins to bubble. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Top with the baked “flowers.”

Step 3

Serve warm or at room temperature.
