In a large bowl, whisk together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.25 cups of granulated sugar, and 0.75 teaspoons of salt.
Add 1 cup of cold, unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add up to 0.5 cups of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together but is not sticky.
Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape them into discs, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 cups of fresh blueberries, 0.75 cups of sugar, 0.25 cups of cornstarch, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of lemon zest, and 0.25 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Toss until evenly coated.
Roll out one portion of the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Press the dough into the dish, trimming any excess.
Pour the blueberry filling into the crust and dot the filling with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Roll out the second portion of dough and place it over the filling. Trim any excess dough, seal the edges, and crimp them to your liking. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of milk to make an egg wash.
Brush the top crust with the egg wash for a golden finish.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to cool for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
