FRESH STRAWBERRY PIE WITH SPECIAL SHORTBREAD CRUST
Most fresh strawberry pies call for a regular pie pastry or a graham cracker crust. This crust is similar to shortbread and complements the fresh strawberries wonderfully! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! My mom would make this pie every summer, and it was gone before you could blink, it's THAT good!

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 375.
- Mix together crust ingredients til crumbly, and press into a 10" pie plate with floured fingers.
- Bake empty crust in pre-heated oven for 12-15 minutes, (until very lightly browned on edges).
- Remove from oven and cool completely.
- While the crust is cooling, make the glaze by mixing together the dry ingredients in a pot, then add the boiling water, and cook until the glaze is thickened and clear.
- (I use a whisk and stir constantly) Remove the glaze from heat.
- Add the butter and stir into the glaze until melted.
- Cool the glaze.
- While the glaze is cooling, if your crust is cool enough, add your sliced strawberries to the crust.
- When the glaze is cool, pour it over the sliced strawberries in the pie crust, and chill completely in the fridge until the glaze sets firmly.

Tips:
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to the pan and will also make it easier to work with.
- Use a light touch when rolling out the dough. Pressing too hard will make the dough tough.
- Trim the edges of the dough evenly. This will help to ensure that the pie crust bakes evenly.
- Prick the bottom of the pie crust with a fork. This will help to prevent the crust from bubbling up during baking.
- Bake the pie crust in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the crust cooks evenly.
- Let the pie crust cool completely before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from cracking.
Conclusion:
Press-in shortbread pie crust is a delicious and easy-to-make alternative to traditional pie crust. It is perfect for pies, tarts, and other desserts. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect press-in shortbread pie crust every time.
