This is a straightforward and fast recipe from Finland for bilberries. You can also use blueberries. Cardamon in the cake crust makes this recipe unique. Cardamon and Bilberry work well together.

for a round 26-28 cm pie dish
100 g of soft butter or margarine
1 dl of fine sugar
1 tsp of cardamom
2 tsp of vanilla sugar
1 large egg
2.5 dl of semi-coarse wheat flour
1 tsp of baking powder
1 dl of milk
Topping: 2 dl of frozen or fresh bilberries
- Whisk the soft butter, sugar, cardamom, and vanilla sugar into a foam.
- Add the egg and whisk the ingredients thoroughly.
- Mix the wheat flour (gluten-free flour mix) and baking powder together. Add the flour mix alternately with the milk/cream to the dough mixture. Stir the ingredients only until the flour is mixed into the dough.
- Grease (or line with parchment paper) the pie dish. Pour the dough into the dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
- Sprinkle 2 dl of frozen or fresh bilberries on top.
- Bake in the middle of the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for about 20-25 minutes, using both upper and lower heat. My pie was ready in 20 minutes. (Insert a cocktail stick into a part without blueberries; if the stick comes out clean, the pie is ready).
TIP: This tastes really good with vanilla ice cream or vanilla sauce.
