Scarlett Pie Recipe - Strawberry Flavor
Scarlett Pie is a delightful dessert that’s bursting with the sweet and tangy flavors of fresh strawberries. It’s a classic homemade pie that’s perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, a picnic in the park, or just a cozy night at home.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 Cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 Cup Cold butter (1 stick)
- 1/2 Cup Cold water
- 1 tsp Salt
For the filling:
- 4 Cup Fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1/2 Cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cubed cold butter. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle large enough to fit your pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the pie dish, pressing it gently into the bottom and sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges.
- In another bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the strawberry filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
- If desired, you can create a lattice or add a full crust on top of the pie. If using a full crust, don’t forget to cut a few slits to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
- Serve slices of Scarlett Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
