Ingredients
Scale
- 300 g all-purpose flour (2 ¼ cup)
- 50 g granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 227 g unsalted butter (1 cup), cut into tablespoons, very cold
- 2 large egg yolks, cold
- 5 tablespoons ice water
- 350 g hulled strawberries
- 50 g granulated sugar (¼ cup)
- 12 g cornstarch (1 ½ tablespoon)
- pinch kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon water
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- turbinado sugar, as needed
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender (or two forks) until the mixture resembles coarse, pebbled sand.
- Add the egg yolks and ice water, mixing with a spatula until it looks like a shaggy mess.
- Transfer the mixture to a clean surface and gently knead until it forms a cohesive dough, being careful not to overwork it.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes or store for up to 2 days.
- This recipe yields two pie crusts; use one now and freeze the other for later.
Notes
Ensure the butter is very cold for a flaky crust.
You can use seasonal berries for variation in flavor.
Garnish with turbinado sugar for extra sweetness and texture.
