Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
- 3 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
1. Start by making the crust. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse sand.
2. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and flatten it into a disk. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the edges and prick the bottom of the crust with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool completely.
4. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium saucepan, combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, salt, and lemon juice. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
5. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until set.
Variations
If you want to switch things up, here are a few variations you can try:
- Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the filling for a classic strawberry and cream combo.
- Use a graham cracker crust instead of a traditional pie crust for a different texture.
- Replace the strawberries with other fresh berries, such as raspberries or blueberries.
- Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the filling for a tangy twist.
