[Music][Applause][Music]hii’m christina with tina girl life todayi’m going to show you how to make afinished blueberry piecalled mustikkapiraka it’s deliciousit’s something that i grew up within my home we had it mostly in thesummertime because that’s whenblueberries were freshbut now with frozen blueberries you canmake it so easilyso let’s get started on the base it’squick and easy to make i even have myoven going at 350 alreadyand let’s get started so what we’regoing to do is we’re going to start bycreamingour butter and our sugar togethernow i’m using my breville hand mixeryou may have seen my video before on mybreville head mixer you might want tocheck that outyou could do this by hand or if you havea stand mixerthat would work great as wellokay now we’re going to add one eggmix it up really goodnext we’re going to add a cup of flourand a teaspoon of baking powderoh that’s looking goodoh my oven is readyokay that was so easy we’re gonna pressthe doughinto my pie platenow i did spray my pie plate with alittle bit of non-stick sprayjust to make sure i’m going to use myclean hands to press thisin it’s almost like a cookie doughit almost feels like so we’re going topressthat and press it up the sides to makenice sides on the side of our pieso like i said this is a pie that youwould have in the summer timeit’s really really delicious with freshblueberriesbut you can make it with other fruit aswell i was just visiting my mom and dadthe other dayand my mom had actually made this samepieusing rhubarb so i think you could useany fresh fruit that’s in season justmaking surethat the pie crust is the same thicknessall the way around i’m going to run myfinger around the edge just to give itlike a little bit of a flat top hereokay set that aside okay let’s getstartedmaking the filling so we’re gonna startout with umlet me see the measurement here aboutone cupof sour cream so i had sour cream thati’ve had in my fridge for a little whilei don’t want it to go bad so i’m goingto use it in this recipeand what we’re going to add to this issome sugar soi have to keep looking at my paperbecause i had to umreadjust the amounts because this wasall in deciliters sothis is 0.75 deciliters which is about athird of a cupand i’m adding that to my sour creamand i’m mixing that in and then i’mgoing to add one eggand i wanted to show you these beautifullittle egg cups that i havethis was actually painted by mygrandmotherin sweden and it’s so beautiful i have aset of four of thosei’m going to add the one egg to themixtureand then we’re going to add a little bitof vanilla now i don’t know if you’venoticed but vanilla isunbelievably expensive right now in ourstore it’s probablyover forty dollars for about less than500 mlso i actually learned how to make my ownso we’re going to add about a teaspoonand that just lasts forever okayso now i’m using frozen blueberries hereand a little trick is to add i’m justadding a heap tablespoon of flour tothis justto keep them from sticking togetherso i’m just going to kind of toss thatflouraround the blueberries just to coat themokay the next step is to pour theblueberriesand i’m going to pour them right intothe pan but i’m not going to pour everysingle onei’m going to leave a couple for the endand i’m going to spread these evenlyalong the bottom of my pie plateand then i’m going to pour the sourcreammixture over topas you can see this is a really easyrecipe to makeif you have company coming over it’squickquick quick to whip this up there’s nostrange ingredients in it it’s probablystuff that you havein your house already which is the bestkind of recipeokay i’m just going to kind of wigglethis aroundcoat all those blueberries looks prettyand then i’m going to add now i got abit of the flour hereso i don’t want to drip the flour on topso i’m just going totake out the blueberries and kind of popthem on topjust space them outand those ones are going to kind of siton top as it bakesjust for decorative value you don’tactually have to do this part you couldjust mix all the blueberries in if youwanted tookay and this isready to go into a 350 degree oven or200 degrees celsiusso that’s going to bake in the oven forabout 30 minutesthank you so much for joining me todayon tina girl life as we made finnishblueberry pieor mustika piraka i’m going to put therecipe belowin the description so if you just scrolldown you’ll see my description andyou’ll also see a place where you canleave a commentand i would love to know where you’rewatching my video fromand if you make this pie as well and i’dlove to know the variations that youmake when you make this pie so if youwouldn’t mind subscribing to my channelthat’s that little red button there inthe corner andum if you click on that bell that yousee there as well you’ll be the first toknowevery time i upload a new video so thankyou so much for watching and i will seeyou next timetoday i’m going to show you how to makeyour own vanillaso right now in our costco here incanada a small bottle of vanillacosts about 40 dollars and that’s atcostco soit’s expensive but i figured out a wayto make it myselfand what i did was i went to the liquorstore and i bought a bottle ofwhiskey so i just bought this jim beamkentucky straight bourbon whiskey andthen i found some vanilla beansand the vanilla beans come usually in apack of two or three of them and they’renot cheap but you’re going to use thisfor a long timeso um i found them actually at anitalian grocer in ourin our town i’ve seen them at differentdelicatessensthere i don’t usually see them actuallyat the grocery store i’ve seen them atbulk food stores as wellso you’ll want to buy a few of them andi say a fewbecause if you can get two or threethat’s great if you can buy more of themeven better and so in this bottle ijust pop them in straight like thisand i have about10 of them in there andyou just pop your lid on and give it alittle shakeand every once in a while give it ashake and within a few monthsyou’ll be able to use it and it’s reallygreat i use it all the timeyou definitely want to keep in mindthough that you’re going to use it inbakedproducts because you’re using whiskeythat does notchange the alcohol content so if you’remaking smoothies in the morningand pouring um your vanilla extract inthereyou could be giving yourself a shot ofwhiskey every morning in your smoothiewhichfor some people that might not be a badthing but it’s probably not what youwanton your drive to work okay putting thataside i want to show you something elsethatum i have made for years i’ve got thisold container as you can see it’s likefrom the 80s almostand that’s because i’ve been probablyusing it for that longand all you do is you put your vanillabeansin sugar so a lot of european bakinguses vanilla sugar in their recipesand so this is i just made my own soagain i boughtvanilla beans i actually cut them up soin my sugaryou can actually see little teenyvanilla beansrumbling about in there so super easywhen i do take a teaspoon of this or atablespoon of this for my bakingi’m trying to avoid the big piecesand uh it’s quite it’s drying out a bitbut sugaralways stays nice and this is reallynicely flavored sugar for your recipesso
