- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
- To prevent the pie crust from shrinking, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- To make sure the pie crust is cooked through, bake it until the edges are golden brown and the center is no longer jiggly.
- For a sweeter filling, use ripe and juicy strawberries. If the strawberries are tart, you can add a bit of sugar or honey.
- To thicken the filling, you can add a cornstarch slurry or tapioca pearls.
