I think the butter flakes are too big and don't allow the dough to hold together very well. Just my 2 cents. Love post, as usual.<br /><br />Patricia @ ButterYum<br />http://www.butteryum.org/roses-alpha-bakers/2014/12/21/tbb-black-and-blueberry-piePatricia @ ButterYumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497226806665401448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018710147566453690.post-62861004232327490412015-01-13T13:26:34.002-05:002015-01-13T13:26:34.002-05:00I love your little pielettes - adorable.

Or you have a place where it collects rainwater for you? <br />Your pie looks delicious..even though you had problems with it..but still looked yummy!

Was your pie super soupy using a mix of fresh and frozen berries? The pielettes don't look soupy at all. Were the berries thawed or frozen? <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092314449327044507noreply@blogger.com
