Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp (8g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) fine sea salt
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 4 to 6 tbsp (60-90ml) ice water
  • 1 lb (450g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (8g) cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) ground cinnamon
  • 1 egg (50g) beaten with 1 tbsp (15ml) water
  • 1 tbsp (12g) coarse turbinado sugar

Instructions:

  1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Add the chilled, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or fork to work the butter into the flour until it looks like coarse crumbs with some pea sized lumps.
  3. Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time. Stop as soon as the dough just holds together.
  4. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Toss the sliced strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Roll the chilled dough into a circle on parchment paper.
  8. Mound the strawberry filling in the center, leaving a 2 inch border of dough around the edges.
  9. Gently fold the dough edges over the berries, pleating as you go.
  10. Brush the edges with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  11. Bake for 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
