Description

A delightful homemade strawberry pie featuring a crisp, buttery shortcrust pastry and a sweet, thickened strawberry filling, finished with a beautiful lattice top. Perfect for a summer dessert, this pie combines fresh strawberries with a gently baked crust to create a classic treat.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 batch Basic Shortcrust Pastry
  • Milk, for brushing on top
  • Sugar, for sprinkling on top

Filling

  • 1/2 cup Sugar (or as needed to taste)
  • 2 to 3 cups Strawberries, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Cornflour (Cornstarch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: Begin by making the basic shortcrust pastry and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  2. Line the Pie Plate: Take half of the chilled pastry dough and roll it out between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use this rolled pastry to line your pie plate, trimming off any excess dough. Place the lined pie dish back into the fridge while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped strawberries, sugar, and cornflour. Mix everything well until evenly incorporated. Set this filling mixture aside.
  4. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for baking.
  5. Prepare the Lattice Top: Roll out the remaining half of the pastry and cut it into strips for the lattice top of the pie.
  6. Assemble the Pie: Spoon the prepared strawberry filling into the chilled pie crust. Arrange the pastry strips on top of the filling in a lattice pattern.
  7. Finish the Top: Brush the lattice crust with milk and sprinkle some sugar over it for a golden, sweet finish.
  8. Bake: Place the pie in the oven and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15 minutes. Then reduce the oven temperature to 180°C (350°F) and continue baking for an additional 30 to 35 minutes until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Cool Down: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to set.
  10. Serve: Slice the pie and serve it as a delightful dessert.

Notes

  • Make sure to chill the pastry well before using to ensure a crisp crust.
  • The amount of sugar can be adjusted based on the sweetness of the strawberries.
  • Allow the pie to cool fully so that the filling thickens and slices cleanly.
  • You can use fresh or frozen strawberries; just thaw and drain frozen ones before using.
  • For extra shine, you can brush the crust with an egg wash instead of milk.
