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:
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.
- 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.
- Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time. Stop as soon as the dough just holds together.
- Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Toss the sliced strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll the chilled dough into a circle on parchment paper.
- Mound the strawberry filling in the center, leaving a 2 inch border of dough around the edges.
- Gently fold the dough edges over the berries, pleating as you go.
- Brush the edges with the egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
- Bake for 45 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
