Big Boy Strawberry Pie :
Strawberry Pie Ingredients:
- 5 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced in half.
- Half cup sugar .
- A teaspoon of starch.
- Small spoon of salt.
- A glass of milk.
Dough ingredients:
- A cup of white flour.
- Small spoon of salt.
- A quarter cup of sugar.
- A cup of unsalted butter, cut into suitable pieces.
- Half cup cold water.
- Vegetable oil.
- A little vanilla (optional)
- 2 large egg yolks.
DIRECTIONS :
- In the beginning, strawberry pie dough is prepared by adding salt, sugar, vanilla and unsalted butter to the flour, then adding vegetable oil and cold water gradually until a soft and cohesive dough is made.
- Add egg yolks separately, and knead again until the dough becomes firm.
- Place the dough in the refrigerator until ready to knead and easy to spread.
- Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow it to cool slightly if too cold until it becomes elastic.
- In an oven tray, roll the pie dough and press it well to have a suitable diameter of not more than 10 inches. Remove the excess edges of the dough and then cover with a plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator again to cool for five minutes.
- Make another bowl and place the sliced strawberries, starch, sugar and a pinch of salt, while stirring these ingredients well.
- Strawberries are then placed on the surface of the pie dough, with attention to decorating the edges with a stick.
- The strawberry pie is placed in the oven to cook at 450 degrees Fahrenheit, which takes about half an hour.
- After about half the time, the pie is removed from the oven and sprinkled with a little sugar, taking into account making four holes in the pie using a fork or knife, in order to make crevices through which steam escapes to avoid the pie exploding during baking.
- Important note: When you put the pie in the oven, it is placed on a high temperature, then the temperature is reduced to 350 degrees and baked for another 15 minutes.
- After the pie is golden brown, it is removed from the oven and left to cool before serving.
- This delicious strawberry pie can be decorated with whipped cream, cherries or any other favorite fruit, and with goodness and healing.
