Ingredients
270g all purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
320g butter of choice, cold and cubed
90-100g cold water 
3 cups all-purpose flour (360g)

Filling
2 cups mixed berries (blackberries& raspberries)
2 tbsp chia seeds
3 tbsp sugar

Place the berries , sugar, into a saucepan over a medium heat. Mash the berries as they begin to heat up. When the berries have broken down to a saucy consistency. Remove from the heat and allow the mixture to cool a little before adding the chia seeds.

To make the pie
Place flour, sugar and salt into a food processor and pulse a few times to combine. Add cold diced butter and pulse the mixture until coarse crumbs form with some pea-sized pieces then stop mixing. Add water and pulse just until moist clumps or small balls form.

Transfer dough to a clean work surface, and gather dough together into a ball (do not knead the dough). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 mins or overnight.

Preheat oven to 200c
Roll out the chilled pie dough. Carefully place the dough into tart molds. Roll out the remaining dough, cut out the dough using a cookie cutter. Bake pie at 200c preheated for 15 mins. Turn the temperature down to 180c for an additional 10-15 mins (depending the size of the molds) or until golden brown.

Allow to cool completely. Fill the crust with the filing and add the cut out crust on top. Enjoy!
