Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup white sugar
• ¾ cup shortening
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons cold water
• ¼ cup butter, chilled and diced
• 4 cups blueberries

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C.)

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough in half and shape into balls. On floured surface, roll from center to edges into 12 inch circle. Avoid rolling too thin.

Step 3

Spread approximately 2 cups blueberries on each rolled pastry, or enough to make a single layer of blueberries leaving a 2 inch border. Sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar and slices of butter.

Step 4

Roll pastry like a jelly-roll, tucking the ends as you roll, and place on a cookie sheet.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until golden brown.
