Strawberry Pie

There’s only a few element about pie. Making pie. Consuming pie. Pie appears to definitely supply humans collectively in a manner that only some special food can.  In my family, it isn't always uncommon to visit family or buddies with a freshly baked pie in hand… surely because of the truth.  One doesn’t need a purpose or an occasion to bake a pie.  Pie is motive sufficient.
I expect part of the cause that i am interested by baking pies is that it is a totally palms on experience.  I would also want to, of path, choose to make the pie dough in my meals processor, but I in no manner do.  Just like making selfmade pasta via hand, I revel in getting my palms dirty and getting elbow deep in butter and flour as I watch a pie crust rework in advance than my eyes.  I love the transformation from a scraggly mess of butter and flour to a easy, velvety pie dough.

And, it’s so smooth.  After weighing out the flour and butter, which honestly pleasant takes a 2nd or two, there are only a few specific measurements required for a pie.  I prefer to pass with the useful resource of experience once I blend the dough.  It seems my fingertips recognize the right amount of water to function to the crumb aggregate plenty higher than my measuring cup does.  And, for a pie filling? Glowing fruit, a chunk of a thickener (my desire is tapioca, although I additionally use corn starch in a pinch…), and a hint of sweetener is all a pie honestly desires.  Fruit pies are my desired, and i clearly want to permit the fruit speak for itself for the most element.

Perform a bit pies turn out better than others? Certain! However, of route, that is based totally upon on your definition of higher. Pie doesn’t want to be pleasant. The crust won't be flawlessly even on all elements, or the filling may be a piece runny.  But, no man or woman will care.  In the long run, you baked a pie for them. Who can bitch?

This smooth strawberry pie is my small contribution to the Pie celebration 2012.  The Pie birthday celebration is hosted by using the usage of Garret, Shauna, Justin, and Ashley.  To pattern all the appropriate pies from this yr’s party, make sure to test out the Pie celebration 2012 facebook internet page.

Makes one nine-inch pie

• Dough for a Double Pie Crust
• (I used my everyday recipe and introduced a tablespoon of sugar for a hint of sweetness)
• 6 cups hulled and quartered clean strawberries
• three tablespoons quick tapioca
• 1 1/2 teaspoons corn starch
• half of cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cream (or half and half of)
• 1 tablespoon raw sugar

put together and refrigerate the dough for the pie crust.  Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Combine the strawberries, tapioca, corn starch, and granulated sugar in a big bowl and toss to mix.  Set aside.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1/2 of the pie dough right right into a huge circle for the bottom crust.  Transfer the dough to a nine-inch pie dish. Fill the bottom crust with the prepared strawberry filling.

Roll out the ultimate pie dough. For a wellknown double crust pie, certainly location the pinnacle crust on pinnacle of the strawberry filling and reduce slits within the crust to allow steam to get away.  For a lattice pinnacle pie (my private desired!), lessen the dough into strips and weave a lattice sample on top of the strawberry filling.

Trim the more dough from the edges of the pie and crimp the rims (either thru hand, or with a fork).  Brush the top of the pie with the cream and sprinkle with raw sugar.  Bake for 45 – 50 mins, till the pinnacle is golden and the filling is bubbly.  If the crust starts offevolved to brown in advance than the pie is completed baking, definitely cowl with aluminum foil.
