Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • pastry cutter
  • Pie Pan

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 2.5 cups All-purpose flour a staple for a flaky pie crust
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar just a hint to enhance the crust's flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Salt balances sweetness and brings out flavors
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter chilled and cubed; ensures a rich, buttery flavor
  • 6-8 tablespoon Ice water keeps the dough cool and helps it unite

For the Filling

  • 4 cups Fresh strawberries hulled and halved; vibrant flavor and natural sweetness
  • 0.75 cups Granulated sugar adjust based on the sweetness of the berries
  • 3 tablespoon Corn starch thickens the filling to prevent a soggy pie
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice freshly squeezed; adds brightness
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract infuses the filling with warm sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter cut into small pieces; dotted on top for richness

For the Topping

  • 1 whole Egg beaten; for a lovely, golden finish

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine 2 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Blend thoroughly.
  • Add 1 cup of chilled and cubed unsalted butter and mix until resembling coarse crumbs, about 5 minutes.
  • Gradually add 6 to 8 tablespoons of ice water, mixing until the dough holds together. Divide into two discs, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare your strawberry filling in the meantime.
  • In a bowl, combine 4 cups of hulled and halved fresh strawberries, ¾ cup of granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of corn starch, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir gently.
  • Roll out one of the chilled dough discs onto a floured surface. Transfer into the pie pan.
  • Pour the strawberry filling into the crust and dot with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.
  • Roll out the second dough disc and cover the pie. Trim excess dough and crimp the edges. Cut slits in the top crust for venting.
  • Brush the top crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of turbinado sugar if desired.
  • Bake on a baking sheet for 45 to 55 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, chill your butter, adjust the sweetness based on berry taste, make vent holes in the crust, and consider serving with vanilla ice cream.
