This is it people. This is my favorite strawberry pie recipe. I don't think I will ever buy it again!!! The crust is so eassssssy to make, and so is the filling. I am in LOVE!!!
Sugar Pie Crust ( Martha Stewart )
1 Cup of unbleached all purpose flour
1/2 Cup of confectioners' sugar
6 tablespoons of cold unsalted butter cut into pieces
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1 egg
Combine flour, sugar, butter, and salt in a food processor. Process for 15-20 seconds, until pastry resembles oatmeal. Add the egg and process for 20 seconds until pastry just begins to hold together.
Press the dough evenly into your pie dish, wrap it up in plastic and chill for about one hour.
Preheat oven to 350, Remove plastic and wrap foil over the shell. Bake for 18 minutes. Remove foil after 18 minutes and bake until golden brown, for like another 7 minutes or so. Allow to cool before filling it.
Strawberry Filling ( Sister in Law Sara Smith )
1 quart of fresh strawberries
1 cup of white sugar
3 tablespoons of cornstarch
3/4 Cup of water
1/2 Cup of Heavy whipping Cream
1) Arrange half the strawberries in baked pastry shell. Mash remaining berries and combine with sugar in a medium sauce pan. Place saucepan over medium heat and bring to boil, stirring frequently.
2) In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Gradually stir cornstarch mixture into boiling strawberry mixture. Reduce heat and simmer mixture until thickened about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour mixture over berries in pastry shell. Chill for several hours before serving. In small bowl whip cream with confectioners sugar until soft peaks form. Serve pie with whip topping!!
