You guys.
You know how some people are really good at making pies? Well, very surprisingly, I seem to be one of those people. And yes, that means the crust too. Yeah, I have to say, I nailed the crust. I think that I’ve had so many people tell me so, that after a while I actually started to feel proud of my crust making abilities. Trust me, I am not typically one to talk myself up, BUT this pie, and even this pie from last summer, are just perfect (I almost never feel that anything I do is perfect!). Granted, I cannot make a pie look incredibly gorgeous with a fancy crust and all, BUT I can make it taste really good, which is really what’s most important, right???
YAY!!
Seeing as it is Friday, you have to know that these sweet blueberry buttermilk pies with chamomile cream must be pretty good. If you have been reading the blog for any amount of time you know that Fridays are almost always reserved for chocolate…serious chocolate. I am talking cakes, cookies, bars, ice creams and even doughnuts.
Therefore, this chocolate free pie must be REALLY awesome.
Ok, so let me fill you in on my secret to this pie. First things first, I do not chill my crust. I know, all the experts and culinary school grads out there are frowning down on me right now. But here’s thing, whenever I take chilled pie dough out of the fridge, I have the hardest time rolling it out. Even if I let it sit on the counter for 15 minutes or so, it always cracks and tears on me. So one day I just didn’t put my dough in the fridge and rolled it right out. SO MUCH EASIER.
Here’s what I did do though. Once I had the pies fully assembled, THEN I put them in fridge. I am telling you, this works so well. You just leave your already assembled pies in the fridge for an hour or two and then bake. Simple as that, and in turn you’ll get a perfect crust. You are still chilling the dough, just at a different time, and I promise you, it makes the whole pie making process so much less stressful. Of course, this makes me so happy since baking should be fun!
And that’s really my only secret, but it’s a good little secret. The filling is pretty simple. It’s not overly runny, but still so juicy. It’s also, not very sweet, which I personally really like. It allows the berries to shine through. If however, you prefer a sweeter pie, just up the sugar to maybe 3/4 cup or even 1 cup if you like it real sweet. Totally up to you.
Oh and the cream?!? It is chamomile tea infused and it’s the perfect light flora accent to these pies. Kind of in love with it.
Ok, and in true Tieghan form, onto a new and random subject…
If you follow me on snapchat and Instagram than you know we finally got the goats and they are my new favorite thing in the world. Honestly, these little girls which Asher has yet to name (but she tells me to assure you all that she is working hard on finding the perfect names) are the cutest, most kind little animals. I already want more…
Should I do a post on them? Full of photos? Would you guys care? I’ll add a photo at the bottom of this post so you can see how cute they are!!!
And finally, I just have to tell you about the fact that I woke up at 3 AM last night screaming because I was positive there was an animal crawling on me. Yes.
I jumped out of bed, still screaming and flapping my hands like a crazy person, flipped on the lights and saw nothing. I figured it was under the bed or worse, the blankets. But I looked, liked a chicken, with my eyes half-open and my body as far away from the point of contact as possible and found nothing. I even went downstairs, looked and nothing. Yeah. So it must have been a dream. Either that or the thing is still in my house and I have not seen it yet.
To say that I am afraid to go to sleep is an understatement…
But since I got like three hours last night, I am dead tired.
I think I need more pie.

Yes, more pie for sure. Pie cures all right?!? Like even my giant vermin dreams? I hope so.
Arn’t they cute?!?
I made this for the 4th and turned 2 pie-haters into lovers!
so delicious!
YAY! So happy it was a hit, thanks!!
YES! GOAT POST please! 🙂
Love your food photography and details, really helps,
thank you so much for sharing
Thank you!
Absolutely loving it! It’s a stunningly beautiful pie. Definitely going to make it this weekend. By the way, your photos are so beautiful. Love ’em all.
Wow! These look amazing!
Beautiful! Love the idea of the buttermilk crust and that chamomile cream, oh my goodness, sounds amazing too!
And that scale looks absolutely stunning!!
Your goats are the cutest! I would totally be down for a post about them! Also, I am so curious how your barn turned out!! Not sure if it is completely finished yet (perhaps I missed that), but I really enjoyed your post on the kitchen, which turned out so lovely 🙂 xx Emma
What a stunning pie! And those flavors are just lovely! Now I need to get over my fear of pie making.
Gorgeous, mouthwatering photos. That crust, those berries – I want them!
I made these and they were absolutely delicious. I went with the 4 mini pies in 2in. pans (Aka muffin tins). It ended up making enough for an extra mini pie, plus extra filli g but that was just fine because #eatitwithaspoon! The recipe makes a beautiful crust and the chamomile cream compliments the blueberries perfectly. Wonderful flavors!(plus it made my kitchen smell heavenly)
Thank you Tieghan for another outstanding recipe.
Those pies look drop-dead gorgeous! I will definitely be trying them out. And your goats! So exciting! I would love to see and hear more about them!
wow these look so good, and what seriously gorgeous pictures!
These pies are gorgeous…I love that scale and those goats so cute yes please do a post on them once Asher names them all. I hate dreams like that when you think something is crawling on you like a spider or something…I can never get back to sleep of course if you have pie waiting for you in the fridge there’s really no reason to go back to sleep lol!!!
omg your photography is so on point!! love it 🙂
