Ingredients:

2 cups fresh blueberries

3 tablespoons goat cheese

3 tablespoons buttermilk

3 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil

small pinch of salt

2 tablespoons flour

1 doubled recipe of pie dough

1 egg

1 tablespoon water raw sugar

Combine the blueberries, goat cheese, buttermilk, honey, basil, and salt in a bowl.

Gradually sprinkle the flour and mix until smooth. Cover and chill while you roll out the pastry.

Gently roll your dough out from the center until about ⅛ inch thick on a large piece of parchment paper. Re-flour your surface as needed, continually lifting and rotating your dough to make sure no parts are sticking.

Cut an even number of circles in the desired size.

To make the egg wash, lightly beat the egg with the water in a small bowl.

Top half the circles with a small amount of filling

Brush edged with egg wash.

Top with another circle.

Seal edges by crimping with a fork and cut to vent.

Brush top with wash and sprinkle with raw sugar.

Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown on top and bottom.
