Servings: Person
Instructions
- Put some ice cubes in half cup water. Sieve the flour. Add butter and 2 - 3 ice cubes. Butter should be cold enough.
- Rub butter into the flour so that small crumbs are formed. Take out the ice cubes. Ice cubes help in retaining the cold temperature of the butter and doesn't let the heat from your fingers melt it.
- Now slowly add cold water (bit by bit) to form a dough
- Divide the dough two portions. i.e (2/3rd + 1/3rd)
- Keep the 1/3rd portion in the refrigerator. Roll out the bigger portion into the base of the pie.
- The thickness should be 1/4th inch and it should be 2 inches more than the circumference of the dish
- Butter the dish generously
- Adjust the rolled out dough in the dish working with your fingers. Prick the base with a fork and keep it in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling
- Wash and cut the strawberry into half
- Place them in a pan add sugar, salt and lemon juice.
- Put over very low heat till the strawberries give off water. Raise the flame and cook till the mixture is thick enough
- Let it cool.
- Once the filling has cooled off, roll out the smaller portion that was refrigerated earlier. This time make it thinner than the earlier one and cut into strips
- Pour the filling in the base prepared
- Take out strips and attach them on one side and keep them free on the other end
- Interlace the strips making a basket like formation i.e. under-over-under-over the previously attached strips
- This is how it should look
- Beat milk and egg and give your pie an egg wash
- Bake it in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes and voila! Its ready
