Instructions
To make the crust:
- Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
- Add the butter, working it in with your hands to make a coarse meal mixture. The butter should still be in large, pea-sized pieces.
- Stir in the Greek yogurt, poppy seeds, and lemon zest; the dough will be shaggy. Turn it out onto a well floured work surface, and bring it together with a few quick kneads.
- Pat the dough into a 10 inch log, then roll it out into a 10" x 12" rectangle. Dust both sides of the dough lightly with flour, and starting with a shorter end, fold it in three - like a letter.
- Flip the dough over, and roll it again into a 10" x 12" rectangle. Fold it in three again.
- Wrap the dough in saran wrap, and chill for 45 minutes.
To make the blueberry filling:
- Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan set over medium heat. Cook until the mixture starts to thicken, about 6 minutes. Transfer the berries to a bowl and let cool to room temperature.
Assembly and cooking:
- Preheat the oven to 425°(F). place a rack on the middle shelf. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into a large square, about 16" x 16". Using a pastry wheel cut out sixteen even squares. Don't worry if they're not exactly the same size. Just do the best you can ;)
- Divide the cooled filling among eight of the squares, using about a tablespoon and a half for each. Brush a little bit of the beaten egg wash along the edges of each filled square.
- Cut a vent (or heart!) into each of the remaining eight squares, using a decorative cutter, small knife, or bottle cap! You can really get creative here.
- Top each filled square with a vented square, and press along the edges with the front of a fork or a pie crust crimper; seal well!
- Brush the top of each pie with the remaining beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar.
- Transfer the pies to prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the pies for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and let cool for 20 minutes before serving.
