Deep Dish Blueberry Pie

Pastry for 2-crust pie

Prepare and roll pastry.  Line greased baking dish with bottom pastry.  Combine washed blueberries with other ingredients and put in the pastry.  Dot with butter.  Top with remaining rolled pastry, seal edges together, and make small slits in top pastry to let steam escape during baking. Bake at 400 F for 15 minutes.  Lower oven temperature to 350 F and continue baking for about 45 minutes until crust is browned.  Serve hot or cold.  Top with cream, whipped cream, or ice cream if desired.
