Instructions

Whisk the dry ingredients for the pie dough: flour, sugar, and salt.
Cut in the chilled shortening and cubed butter until the mixture is crumbly.
Add ice-cold water and mix until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough into two halves, wrap each half, and chill for at least an hour.
Roll out one dough disk and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Chill again while preparing the filling.
For the filling, heat the berries with sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan until they release their juices.
Stir in cornstarch and cook the mixture until it thickens. Remove from heat, then stir in the butter and allow it to cool.
Pour the cooled berry filling into the crust-lined pie plate.
Roll out the second dough disk to create a lattice or full top crust. Crimp the edges, brush with egg white, and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake at 400°F for 40-45 minutes, covering with foil after 25 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Once golden and bubbling, remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing to ensure the filling sets.

Notes

You can mix up the fruit by adding strawberries or cherries.
If short on time, use a store-bought crust or crumble topping.
Pie can be assembled ahead of time and kept in the fridge or frozen before baking.
Frozen berries can be used in place of fresh; just let them sit for 10 minutes to thaw slightly.
Alternative thickening agents like flour or tapioca starch can be used instead of cornstarch.
