Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 3 tbsp. cold vegetable shortening (Crisco), cut into cubes
- 3-5 tbsp. ice water
- 4 large strawberries, rinsed, green tops removed, and halved
- 4 tsp. granulated sugar, plus more for finishing
- 1 egg, beaten with 1 teaspoon water for egg wash
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, butter, and shortening, working the fat into the flour with your hands, a pastry cutter, or a fork until the mixture begins to clump together and feel like wet sand.
- Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and incorporate with a fork, using just enough liquid so that the mixture holds together. Press dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before proceeding to the next step.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle flour onto work surface and roll out dough. Cut into 3-inch circles, making sure to cut an even number and set half aside to top the pies.
- Place bottom crust circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush egg wash around edges of bottom crust, place one strawberry half, cut side down, onto each bottom crust. Sprinkle each berry piece with 1/2 teaspoon sugar, top with second crust, and press crust edges together with a fork to seal. Brush top crusts with egg wash and sprinkle with more sugar, if desired. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.
