GINGERY MIXED BERRY PIE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the sugar and lemon zest. Rub the zest into the sugar with your fingertips until well combined and fragrant. Stir in the cornstarch, fresh ginger and candied ginger (if using). Add the blueberries, blackberries and raspberries to the bowl. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the top, but don't stir quite yet. Let sit while you make the dough.
• Place one disk of the pie dough on a lightly floured surface. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a 12-inch-wide circle 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trim any rough edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang, and set it in the fridge while you roll the other crust and cut the lattice.
• Roll the second disk of pie dough into a circle roughly 12 inches wide and 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Use a pastry wheel or knife to cut the dough into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide.
• Gently stir the filling together until well mixed and pour it into the pie dish. Press gently to pack down the berries into the dish.
• Weave the dough strips into a lattice. Trim off any excess dough and fold the edges of the bottom crust up and over the lattice strips. Crimp together the edges. Slide the whole pie into the freezer until the crust is very firm, about 15 minutes. While the pie is chilling, heat the oven to 400 degrees and set a rack in the bottom third of the oven.
• After the pie has chilled, place it on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Beat the egg, then brush the top of the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar and flaky salt.
• Bake the pie until it is deep golden brown and the juices are bubbling, 45 to 55 minutes. If the crust begins to burn before the filling bubbles, tent it with aluminum foil. Cool before serving.

INDIVIDUAL BLUEBERRY PIES A LA MODE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine blueberries, sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Gently toss to coat blueberries. Set aside.
• On a floured work surface, roll out half the dough to a 1/8-inch-thick square. Using a sharp knife, quarter the square; carefully drape each quarter over a 5-inch pie tin.
• Place 1 1/2 cups blueberry mixture in each pie tin, mounding the berries in the center. Dot each pie with 1 1/2 teaspoons butter.
• Again, on a floured work surface, roll remaining dough into a 1/8-inch-thick square. Using a sharp knife, quarter the square. Using a 1-inch round biscuit cutter, cut a hole in center of each quarter. Drape each quarter over berries, centering steam hole. Seal edges. Trim edges around pie plates to form a 1/2-inch lip. Chill the dough.
• Dampen lip of dough with water. Using scissors, snip inward from outside edge at 3/4-inch intervals, making each cut about 3/4 inch deep. As you cut, carefully fold in alternating tabs to create bear-tooth crimping design. Chill again, about 30 minutes.
• Transfer pies to a baking sheet large enough for tins not to touch. Brush each lightly with cold water; sprinkle with sugar. Bake until crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 degrees; continue baking until blueberry juice begins to bubble, about 15 minutes more. Remove from oven; cool slightly. Serve with ice cream.
