Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh strawberries. If using frozen strawberries, thaw them completely before using.
- If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- When rolling out the dough, be sure to flour your work surface and rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking.
- If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it for 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before filling it.
- When filling the pie, be sure to leave a 1-inch border around the edge of the crust.
- Top the pie with the remaining pastry dough and seal the edges by crimping them together.
- Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
