It is sweet on right amount, the crust it's crunchy and the filling is rich and moist. Simply perfect!! Give it a go, I can guarantee you'll love it! :)
Ingredients for the crust:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
8 tbsp spread
2 tbsp light brown sugar
Ice-cold water
Method for the crust:
1 - Place all the ingredients except the water in a bowl. Using a fork, mix the ingredients
2 - Then slowly drizzle the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, over the flour, mixing with the fork quickly until the dough starts to clear the sides of the bowl and comes together
3 - Divide the dough into half and place each half in cling wrap, shaping into a disc as you wrap
4 - Place both dough discs in the refrigerator for an hour at least or longer.
Ingredients for the strawberry filling:
400g strawberries sliced
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp vanilla
Method for the strawberry filling:
1 - Mix
in all the and stir thoroughly2 - Set aside for 15 minutes
Putting
the pie together
1 - Take
one of the discs of dough and roll it out to about 12 inches, using as much
flour as you need to keep it from sticking to the surface. Keep moving the
dough as you roll it to ensure it does not stick.2 - Open the dough on to a greased 8 inches round spring form baking tray or on a pie pan if you have one.
3 - Pour the filling into the crust. Place the baking tray into the refrigerator while you prepare the top crust using the second disc of dough.
4 - Open the second disc and use a small cookie cutter in any shape to cut out little pieces of the dough
5 - Keep them on a baking sheet while you cut out the others
6 - Gather the scraps, roll out the dough, and cut more shapes until you have exhausted the dough.
7 - Arrange the shapes on top of the strawberries in a decorative pattern
8 - Sprinkle 1 tbsp of light brown sugar on the crust. This gives some additional sweetness and helps the crust brown.
9 - Bake it at 180c for 1 hour
10 - When ready let the pie pan cool thoroughly before cutting and serving
Enjoy!
