- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Filling:
- Fresh strawberries, washed, hulled, and sliced
- Strawberry jam or homemade strawberry glaze (combine strawberry puree, sugar, cornstarch, and heat until thickened)
Instructions
- Make the Pie Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour and powdered sugar. Add butter and vanilla, then mix using hands or a pastry cutter until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
- Form the Crust: Press the dough evenly into the base of a pie dish. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the shape.
- Bake the Crust: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the crust for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool.
- Prepare the Strawberries: Slice fresh strawberries and set them aside.
- Make the Glaze: For the glaze, use either strawberry jam or make your own glaze by heating strawberry puree, sugar, and cornstarch until thickened. Cool slightly.
- Assemble the Pie: Arrange sliced strawberries in a decorative pattern in the cooled crust. Pour the glaze over the strawberries to coat evenly.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least one hour to set the glaze.
- Serve: Serve chilled, optionally topped with whipped cream or a dollop of whipped topping.
Notes
- The pie can be made with any berry or a mixed-berry combo for variation.
