Savoy Blueberry Pie

6 servings

75 minutes

Savoy pie with blueberries is an elegant embodiment of French pastry art. Its history traces back to the Savoy region, where simple yet refined recipes are valued for their balance of flavor and texture. The delicate, crispy, and fragrant shortcrust serves as the perfect base for juicy blueberries that reveal their sweet freshness when baked. A light dusting of powdered sugar completes the composition, adding a touch of refined sweetness. This pie is a wonderful choice for morning tea or a romantic dinner, especially when paired with mascarpone or vanilla ice cream.
