Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Use a whisk for even distribution.
- Add chilled, cubed unsalted butter, and blend until it resembles coarse crumbs, about 5 minutes.
- Gradually add ice water to the mixture, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to hold together.
- Gather the dough into a ball, divide it into two discs, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) with the oven rack in the middle position.
- In a mixing bowl, combine fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, corn starch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir to coat the strawberries.
- Roll out one disc of dough on a floured surface until it fits your pie pan. Place the rolled dough into the pan.
- Pour the strawberry filling into the crust and dot with pieces of unsalted butter.
- Roll out the second dough disc and lay it over the filling, trimming excess dough and crimping the edges.
- Cut slits into the top to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar if desired.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes until the crust is golden brown and filling bubbles.
- Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before serving.
